Mixing Directions

• Mix 1/4 cup Triple 9 Chicken Brine with 32 oz warm water (90–120°F).
• Whisk until fully dissolved.
• Let the mixture rest 5–10 minutes to allow bubbles to settle.
• Chill to below 40°F before submerging poultry.

Recommended brine times:
• Thighs: 45–60 minutes
• Wings: 30–45 minutes
• Drums: 45–60 minutes
• Whole birds: 3–5 hours

Adjust brine time down slightly for hot‑and‑fast cooks. Use full brine time for low‑and‑slow cooks.

Competition‑Strength Mix

• Use the standard ratio above.
• Add 1–2 tablespoons melted chicken tallow or butter to enrich mouthfeel.
• Add 1 tablespoon Worcestershire or soy for deeper savory character if desired.
• Whisk thoroughly to emulsify.
• Strain before loading into injectors or sprayers.
• This increases richness without oversalting or altering texture.
