Hints of Asian-Inspired Flavors
The soy sauce and garlic add just the right hint of Asian flavors to this apple juice brined chicken on the Char-Broil Big Easy. The brine takes care of everything else, keeping the meat perfect. All in all, I ended up cooking 12 split chicken breasts (in batches) that were marinated in this brine. The chicken is not just good as-is, but it also makes for fantastic chicken salad.
Also give my apple ale beer can chicken a try! And my easy marinated Big Easy chicken is fantastic too!
