Today's Cooking Tip from Lokheed:
A BRINE IS NOT A MARINADE
When brining, pay attention to the recommended time to leave the meat in the brine. For chicken breasts, this means about 90 minutes. (And only brine non-kosher chicken breasts. A kosher breast has already been brined.)
What happens if you, say, leave the chicken breasts in the brine all day while you are out playing with your kid at the Magic Kingdom? You get something that looks like a chicken breast and tastes like a solid brick of salt.
Yum!
Pardon me while I go toss a frozen pizza in the oven....
