For best results, brine chicken in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or up to 12 hours. Do not brine for longer than 12 hours as the chicken may become too salty. This brine is also excellent for pork chops or turkey breasts. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to suit your spice preference. Ensure your bowl or container is large enough to fully submerge the chicken in the brine.
