Ingredients

4 chicken breast halves, bone in and skin on
8 chicken thighs, bone in and skin on

Combine the water, salt, and sugar together in a large deep bowl or plastic tub.
Stir until salt and sugar are dissolved.
Add the chicken and fully submerge; refrigerate for 2-4 hours to brine.
Remove the chicken from the brine, rinse and pat dry.
