Brine lean meats. Always. Forever. This bit of culinary know-how will always be there for you. Like a bestie asking if you’ve lost weight or letting you know your ass looks great in those new jeans: But you have to be willing to put in the time, if you want to reap the rewards of this friendship. It’s a two-day thing, gurrrl. Our fried chicken thighs begin with brining boot camp, make a pit stop in a buttermilk marinade, and end their journey fried to perfection and garnished with wildflower honey and sea salt. We’ll show you how, and yes, those jeans look great on you!
