Perfect Chicken Thighs

Take 4 chicken thighs and brine them for 1-2 hours in a
mixture of:
1 quart cool water
1/4 cup table salt
1/2 cup sugar

Rinse, pat dry and coat with seasoned flour.
Heat some oil in an oven proof frying pan and brown the chicken pieces for 10 minutes on each side over medium to
medium high heat (not too hot, the sugar in the brine may
scorch).
Place pan in 400 degree oven for another 10 minutes to finish. Just remember, 10 - 10 - 10 and they’re done.
Serve with green beans and rice pilaf with a glass of wine.

Trying this today! I made my own seasoned salt and will mix it with some bread crumbs.

I think I'll also try it on skinless breasts later.

I made your perfect chicken thighs tonight and they came out great!

I’m not known to brine-lol - but I think I’m hooked!

I went with 1/4 cup each of the salt / sugar and kept them in the brine for around 3 hours.

The 10-10-10 cooking method was perfect!
Thanks
