Quora user Krystian Cybulski rates this piece of advice as his number one cooking tip:
"Brine your breasts."
He describes how he was often frustrated while trying to grill chicken, saying, "It was not possible to sear a chicken breast and not have it taste like the bottom of my shoe", until he had a lightbulb moment.
"Then I discovered brining."
He breaks down his method in detail:
"Take a quart (liter) of water, add a tablespoon of salt, half a tablespoon of sugar, and the juice of half a lemon. Add a thawed double chicken breast and leave out on the countertop for 2–6 hours. Then, add herbs and spices, but hold off on adding more salt. Finally, throw it on a grill on high flame."
The results? Nicely salted, moist, tender grilled chicken breasts you can serve with pride.
