Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Plastic freezer bags or equivalent

Ingredients
  

  • 1 gal warm water
  • 3/4 cup kosher salt
  • 1 lemon
  • 2/3 cup cane sugar
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Pour the gallon of warm water into a large pot, ideally the pot has a capacity of at least two gallons.
  • Add all other ingredients to the pot and stir thoroughly. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Once the brine mixture is uniform and salt and sugar have completely dissolved, turn off your heat source and allow brine to cool to room temperature.
  • Place chicken wings into plastic bags and fill each bag with enough brine to almost completely submerge the wings.
  • Place bags of chicken and brine in the refrigerator to marinate. Marinate for at least 4 hours.
  • When ready to cook, remove chicken from bags, and pat wings dry with a paper towel before cooking. Dispose of the used brine.
