Brine
1. Use ½ oz kosher salt (or Himalayan salt) to 2 cups of water.
2. Boil water and salt to create a solution. Let the solution cool to room temperature or cooler before marinating meat.
3. Submerge chicken breast or whole chicken— it might have to be weighted down. Brine meat for about one hour per pound.
4. Rinse well so no salt is left behind.

Brine Chicken breast for no longer than 30-45 minutes.  


Roasted Chicken
Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees with roasting pan in the oven

Prepare Chicken:
Rub skin with butter, brush with rosemary (or desired herb), and a heavy coating of salt and pepper. Seal cavity with stabbed lemon and by tying the legs together. 

Roasting:
Place chicken in pre-heated pan and bake at 450 degrees for 15-25 minutes until skin browns. 
Lower temperature to 375 degrees and roast until the internal temperature is 165 degrees or legs pull off with ease. 

Generally it takes about 20 minutes per pound but all stoves, grills are different. It is best to use a thermometer so you do not over or undercook the meat. Insert into the thickest part of the thigh, not touching bone.

1 peeled onion,
