Brining chicken makes the flavour far better and it will cook faster too
Preparation
- Put 500ml water into a pan and bring to a simmer
- Dissolve the salt and honey and stir in the other ingredients
- Turn off the heat and cool
- Add another 1-1.5L of cold water (or a mix of ice and water)
- If you are planning to spatchcock the chicken do it at this stage. Freeze the removed parts so you can use them later to make a stock

- Refrigerate for 24 hours
