If you like spicy grilled chicken sandwiches, wraps, or salads - wet brining is one of the best ways to improve texture, increase juiciness, and perfectly season the meat.
Take chicken breasts out of packaging and pat dry with paper towel.
With a sharp knife, butterfly the chicken breasts by slicing from the side. You want to continue to cut half-way through the breast until it lays flat. Do not slice the chicken breast in half completely.
Making Brine Liquid
In a bowl combine the brine ingredients with a whisk ensuring the salt is well combined.
Apply a light layer of this seasoning to both sides of the chicken breasts.You will have rub left over - save and use for later.
Once your grill is ready, put chicken breasts on the grill. I seared on one side for 2 minutes and then flipped and seared for another 2 minutes.
I then flipped every minute until the internal temperature was 155F.
Rest the Chicken Breast for ~5 Minutes
The reason for taking the breast off at 155F is because through carry over cooking it will be safe to eat and be much juicier than if you went to 165F. After resting, slice on a bias and enjoy!
