bring both sides up and cross over the top of the tail. Wrap ends of the
twine around the end of each drumstick and pull to draw the legs together,
crossing ends over each other again. Turn the bird over. Pull ends of twine
up over the thighs and wrap around the upper wings, catching the tips of the
wings in the loop. The twine is wrapped around the wing close to the body,
and then both ends are brought to the upper side. If there is a flap of skin at
the neck, it is folded up and the two ends of twine are tied over it.
Brining
Brining leaner cuts of meat such as poultry, turkey,
and pork in a saltwater solution produces juicier
roasts. The difference between brined and non-brined
meats is very noticeable. If you have the time it is
definitely recommended.
The rule to follow is to use a cup of table salt or 1½
cups kosher salt for every gallon of water.
Or, for smaller cuts of meat, ½ cup kosher salt for
every quart of water.
Simply mix salt and water together. Place item to be
brined in a non-reactive container or sealable plastic
bag large enough to completely immerse the meat.
Pour in the brine, cover, and refrigerate.
The amount of time needed to brine depends on how
big the roast is. Following is a simple guideline:
Whole chicken 3–8 hours
Chicken parts 1–2 hours
Turkey breast 4–6 hours
Game hens 1–2 hours
Pork chops 2–6 hours
Pork tenderloin 2–6 hours
Pork loin 24 hours
It is important to thoroughly rinse and dry the meat once you remove it
from the brine, so when it roasts it will be juicy, not salty.
