After my last batch of boiled peanuts, it occurred to me that for years I've been wasting that nice brine after boiling peanuts. It has a great flavor after boiling raw peanuts for 12+ hours.
I think I've managed to find the one thing that hasn't been mentioned on the internet, with one exception and that result (BBQ chicken brined in boiled peanut water) on Google didn't actually have the recipe.
And I don't see anything here or on other BBQ/smoke forums.
Anyone tried or given thought to using peanut brine for butt or chicken or even ribs? I'm going to give it a try and I'll post results but I was thinking that many Asian cuisines combine peanuts and meats very well so why not my cherry-cocoa wood smoked boston butt?
