apologies if answered, using my phone so the search function is cumbersome.
I understand that a basic brine is 1gal water, 1/2 cup table salt, 2/3 cup sugar.
My questions:
- what is the sugar for? The salt helps with moisture but what abt the sugar?
- Im always worried about oversalying and ruining my bird. I’d much rather use weight ratios. What should my ratios be for table salt, bird, water, other seasoning?
Thanks in advance
