Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
Do you get the same juiciness dry brining or just the flavour?
It’s been awhile since I’ve done it, but I think more juiciness from wet brining. Dry might be more appropriate for fattier cuts.
Brining seems interesting! Will do some research into it. Thank you for brining it to my attention :)
Does the brining make it “saltier”?
i.e., if you have a recipe for the seasoning, would you need to adjust due to brining?
I’d say yes if you are comparing to not brining.
If you’re using a correct ratio of salt to water (I always have to google the ratio, can never remember it) you shouldn’t need to adjust too much. Obviously it can depend on your tastes, so you might need to do it a few times to find what ratio works for you
Could possibly be more salty if you leave it in the brine too long maybe? or try doing it for less time.
I find you get more salt/flavour throughout the whole piece of chicken versus it just being salty on the surface.
Cool thank you for that, learned a useful tip today :)
