When most people think of brining, they picture brining a whole Thanksgiving turkey, but it’s such a great technique that we’ve started using it all year round for all sorts of different meats and even vegetables like cauliflower. We like to throw pork chops and chicken breasts in a quick brine for extra oomph before continuing on with the rest of the recipe.

Brining is also a great technique if you are cooking a smaller portion of turkey, such as a turkey breast, for Thanksgiving or even for weeknight dinners. And although many brining recipes call for brining for at least 12 hours, a much shorter brine can also deliver flavorful, moist meat. In fact, a quick brine of just 30 minutes is enough to add flavor to smaller cuts like chicken breasts.

Brining is the process of submerging a cut of meat in a brine solution, which at its most basic is simply salt dissolved in water. A brine can also be seasoned with dried herbs and spices. The meat absorbs some of the liquid and salt, resulting in a juicier and more flavorful final dish. This technique is particularly great for lean cuts of meat that tend to dry out during cooking (that’s why it’s so popular with turkey).

If you are short on time or fridge space, you might be wondering if you can skip brining. While there are scientific reasons for brining, it’s not the only way to produce flavorful meat. If dealing with liquid is what’s putting you off of brining, consider a dry brine. There are other options, too, like rubbing butter and seasonings under the skin of turkey or chicken. Try it in this turkey breast recipe. But we think you should give brining a try — and it’s easy with the basic brining ratio and method we’ve outlined below.

The basic ratio of salt to water for a brine is 4 tablespoons of kosher salt per 1 quart (4 cups) of water. If you are using fine table salt, reduce the amount to 3 tablespoons. Keep in mind, also, that different kosher salt brands vary in how salty they actually are. When in doubt, cut down on the amount of salt or the amount of time you brine the item.

Quick Brine Flavoring Ideas

To infuse your meat with extra flavor, throw some extra spices and aromatics into your brine that will complement the finished dish. Making our Pork Stir-fry with Asparagus and Sugar Snap Peas? Try adding a few slivers of ginger into the brine. For roasted chickens, add lemon rind and a few sprigs of rosemary or thyme. Some folks also like adding sugar (about 2 tablespoons per quart) into the brine to lightly sweeten the meat.
