Sweet-Tea Brined Chicken

Servings:6

You could mistake this brine for a lemony iced tea—hello, Arnold Palmer—and indeed, it imparts a similar subtle yet tart flavor.Grilled okraandcornbreadmake great accompaniments.

Preparation

  • In a large saucepan, bring 2 cups water, the salt, sugar, and cinnamon stick to a boil over high heat, stirring to dissolve the salt and sugar. Let cool to warm. Stir in the tea, lemonade concentrate, ice cubes, and lemon slices. Let the brine cool.
  • Put the chicken in a bowl or large zip-top bag. Add the brine, and let the chicken soak for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare a medium-high (400°F to 475°F) gas or charcoal grill fire.
  • Remove the chicken from the brine, pat dry with paper towels, lightly coat with oil, and sprinkle with a little black pepper. Grill the chicken without moving it until grill marks form, 4 to 6 minutes. Flip and grill until just cooked through (160°F), 4 to 6 minutes more. Let rest for a few minutes before serving.

    Another score from Fine Cooking! I really had some reservations about this recipe because I wasn't sure about sweet-tea and brine but WOW was the chicken moist, juicy, tasty....even my teenager said it was a keeper. We didn't try it with the okra and cornbread because we didn't have enough time to make the whole meal but the chicken was awesome
