BBQ - Brine Recipe

1 gallon water

3/4 cup kosher salt

2/3 cup sugar

3/4 cup soy sauce

1 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 cup olive oil

Start by boiling the water and then adding the salt and sugar, so that it will dissolve easier. Then add the spices to the hot liquid so that the flavors are extracted. Let the brine cool before adding the meat. 

You'll need a non-reactive container large enough to hold the meat and the brine.  Place the meat in the brine, and then place it in the refrigerator for an hour minimum.  After its been in the refrigerator rinse or wipe off the meat before grilling to remove the excess salt.

I use ziploc bags usually.
