Brined Chicken

… Continuing with the VD weekend, we also prepared an organic chicken we received with our food share last Thursday.

We visited the Healthy Butcher (and cheated yes, but I’m busy) and bought an organic brine, which we used to brine the chicken overnight on Sunday. On Sunday, with Blee here to assist with Oscar prep, we opted for a fondue feast graced with Blee’s homemade – and uber-yummy short ribs.

This wonderful chicken we ate last night along with a super riceball and spinach salad. While brining a chicken does take another 24 hours of your time, it is well worth the effort!
