Oreillys Smoked and Brined Chicken Ingredients

2 Whole chickens; (3 1/2 lb.	3/4 c Soy sauce

3/4 c Salt; (I use kosher salt)	1/4 c Olive oil
2/3 c Sugar

Instructions for Oreillys Smoked and Brined Chicken

Wash birds inside and out. Put water in a large non-aluminum container (I bought a new 5-gallon bucket from Home Depot for this), add salt and sugar and stir to dissolve. Add soy sauce, tarragon, thyme and pepper. Submerge birds and weigh them down with a heavy plate so they stay submerged. Refrigerate overnight. Remove birds from brine and wash inside and out. Pat dry. (They say you can reserve the brine for future use, but I have never tried this -- I just throw it out!) Smoke birds according to the type of smoker you will be using. You can add additional seasoning to the birds before smoking them, just dont add any more salt. Baste birds with the olive oil during latter stages of smoking to give them a golden brown color!
