Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup Melted unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the chicken broth, melted butter, kosher salt, honey, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, paprika, and lemon juice.
Heat the mixture over medium heat until the salt completely dissolves, stirring occasionally. Do not let the mixture boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the brine cool to room temperature. You can speed up the cooling process by transferring the brine to a bowl and setting it in an ice bath.
Once cool, strain the brine through a fine mesh sieve to remove any solids or clumps. Pour the smooth brine into a clean, food-grade syringe with a narrow needle tip designed for injecting.
