I made this up to go with some apple wine a friend had given us. It was quite possibly the best chicken I have ever roasted. I love cooking the chicken in a cast iron roasting pan sitting on a bed of chopped apple, onion, and garlic. Place thawed whole chicken in chilled brine and refrigerate 18 to 24 hours. Roast chicken as usual.

I've tried this brine with both bone-in and boneless chicken, and it works great either way. The chicken comes out so moist and flavorful, and the apple cider vinegar gives it a nice tang. I'll definitely be using this brine again and again.
