Another Chicken Brining Question
S'me Again after Y'all gave me such good help on brining these 30+ chicken thighs for next Friday's Cook, I got to thinking. I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW - - - but anyhow - - - I was considering possibly doing 15 thighs and then a bunch of deboned breast meat (tenders?) MY QUESTION is "If I do this, then can I brine and cook them together at the same time" :?:

Re: Another Chicken Brining Question
Why not? Just stating the obvious, the thigh will take longer to cook is all. I use Trader's Joe's Spiced Cider as my base for most of the brining I do.

Re: Another Chicken Brining Question
Gotta agree with CP; you'll just need to start cooking the thighs sooner. Brining should be about the same time frame unless those thighs are real thick or the breast fillets are thin cut.
Personally I like the thinner cut ones; less trouble getting an even cook on them.
Sounds like you're just letting nerves get to you, OUP. You're a veteran at this stuff. Just set aside the anxiety and do what comes natural by now. I got enough self doubt for the whole board membership as it is, LOL

Thanks, I know I'm my worst enemy when it come to nerves but it for my oldest Son's Rehearsal Dinner and I'm wanting it to be very good. Once I get into the actual brining and grilling I'll settle down - - - I don't do "waiting" very well.

First, check out the brining coefficient for thighs vs. breasts.

Re: Another Chicken Brining Question
They got to it before me. Lol! Nailed it though. Thighs will certainly take longer than those tenders. Tenders will be done in next to no time in comparison.

Re: Another Chicken Brining Question
Thank GOD for Granny Cracker Jugs (and I have plenty since the Eureka Springs Wedding) - - - I mixed up a Gallon of Brine and if I need more brine after I put the chicken parts in the 3 jugs, I'll mix up another batch in my big Jug.
Also so very glad I bought that extra Frig that's in the Shop working very well (fingers crossed) - - don't think I could have pulled this off without the extra Frig.
