When it comes to brining chicken, how much salt do you use? I want to avoid over-salting while still keeping things tasty. Any advice on getting the balance right would be super helpful!

When brining chicken, a good rule of thumb is to use about 1/4 cup of salt per 4 cups of water. This ratio helps to keep the chicken juicy and flavorful without being too salty. Make sure to dissolve the salt completely in the water before adding the chicken. Brine for a few hours in the fridge, and you’ll have perfectly seasoned chicken!

it's important not to overdo it on the salt. A good starting point is to use about 3/4 cup of salt for every 4 liters of water However, for a more accurate measurement, consider using a brine calculator.
