The chicken has been the brine for 18 hrs. I used 2 12 oz bottles of Sierra Nevada TORPEDO® EXTRA IPA

Five minutes later I rotated them 45* and let them cook another 5 minutes.

Seeing your 7K plus post count, i will take it for granted that you know what standard salt / sugar brine tastes like. That said .... What kind of flavor profile did the beer add to the brine ? ( as opposed to just water )

What XLentEGG asked. The curious want to know.
