Buttermilk and beer brine today… wow!

[PatrickE]

My own recipe:
8 oz of buttermilk
1 bottle/can of beer
6 to 8 oz of jarred pickle juice (I used Wickles)
2 tablespoons coarse salt
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire
1 tablespoon hot sauce (I used Frank’s)
Black pepper and crushed red pepper to taste … don’t hold back! LOL. (I did a tiny bit of cayenne too but I like heat)

Soak chicken pieces for 16 to 20 hours…Grill or smoke and enjoy!

Seriously this was the best chicken I have ever made.

What temp and how long?

Smoked - 250 for an hour to 1:15
Grilled - 375 for 35 to 40 minutes

(Time above obviously depends on which pieces/cuts you’re cooking)
