Default Re: Brined turkey or chicken

I brine my birds two different ways.
If I'm gonna smoke it I brine it in equal parts of apple cider and water with a handful of salt and some black pepper.

A Portuguese grandmother taught me this one for roasting. Equal parts of water and dry white wine with a handful of salt and two or three onions sliced with a couple of bay leaves and crushed garlic gloves.
I let both soak overnight or for 24 hours if I have the time. It's really yummy.
