Chicken on hold

Former Member

Smoking some fresh bone in chicken breasts tomorrow night. Question: How long can I hold them wrapped before serving, without losing juiciness?

Wrap `em tight in foil and you should be OK all day! They won't stay hot, but who cares? If you have to reheat them drop them in 4 qts. of boiling water with 1/4 c. salt and 1/2 c. sugar. This seals the outside without pulling juices. Try dropping halibut chunks in this mix until they float...tastes JUST like Lobster! We call it Poor Mans Lobster up here. Serve anyway you would Lobster. Your chix skin won't be good, no matter how long you wrap them.

My chix question of the day...what is the shortest time you can brine a chix and still be effective?

IMHO 4 hrs. for breasts and marinate thighs in Italian dressing the same time
