Brined chicken sammie

Brined boneless, skinless chicken breasts this evening. Brined for four hours. The brine consisted of 2 quarts of filtered water,4 ounces by weight of honey, 1/3 cup of pickling salt, 1/4 cup of olive oil, 23 cup of soy sauce, Italian herbs and Herbs du Provence.
Roasted at 425°F until 165°IT. Added freshly grated ButterKase, and gruyere. And put them back out after just a couple minutes, no more than 5.
I also roasted a pound of regularly sliced smoked bacon. I did this first, and let the bacon drain while cooking the chicken breast. It was a tough task to keep the cretinous bacon stealers that live in my house out of the pile of extra crispy bacon.
I picked up the bread at a local bakery, sliced open, toasted for 10 minutes in the cooker until the garlic butter coated were just a slight brown.
I used Grey Poupon, Duke’s, grillo’s spicy dill pickles, heirloom tomatoes, and finely chopped Visalia onion.
Best chicken sandwich I have ever had in my life. Amazing chicken juiciness, and flavor. Perhaps the best thing I may have ever made.

Just seeing if you paid attention. I make a lot of errors. It was meant to say 2/3 cup of soy sauce. Thank you for pointing that out.GlennM said:Looks good but 23 cups of soy sauce 😳

Only 306 hrs if you are an anthropomorphic stick. Bonus points for it probably being healthy, but I'm rusty on my stick biology.caliking said:Fuq… that sounds delicious.I’ll be right over…

No pictures but made these tonight. This is a great marinade. Surprisingly not overly salty or a strong soy sauce taste either. Will def use this again.

@TEXASBGE2018
So glad it worked out for you. I had a brine recipe that called for salt and sugar, but changed a couple things around, experimenting just a bit. Finally settled on this.
be careful not to let it go past 3.5 - 4 hours. Also I use a tenderizing Mallet. I place each breast in side of a plastic bag and hammer them like they owe me money. Really helps the tenderness too."Knowledge is Good" - Emil Faber
