💡 Feel free to customize the brine with additional ingredients like herbs, spices, wine, or soy sauce to suit your preferences.Make sure all the sugar and salt are completely dissolved for evenly flavored brine.This brine works well for chicken or fish, preparing them perfectly for smoking.Always brine meat for an adequate amount of time (commonly 4–12 hours, depending on thickness) for the best results.
