In all fairness I figured I would put this in a public forum to...
1. Show how big of an idiot I am.
2. By posting here maybe the answers I receive will help others.
So I have 1 lb of this wonderful Mad Hunky brine. I read the instructions and they are quite clear 1lb/1 gallon cold water for 50 lbs meat. 8oz/.5 gallon water for 25lbs meat.
Here is my trouble I have a 5 lb chicken so by my math that would be 1.6oz brine/12.8oz water 1 tenth of the package of brine and 1/10th the water. Is this correct? Because when i tested the amount of water it didn't cover the bird. Basically how much brine do I use and how much water for a 5lb bird.
