Brining

[Guest]

Hello, I am new to brining and need some advice. I made 2 quarts of brine based on the recipe on the Weber site. It says to make 1 quart for every pound of meat, but to exceed 8 quarts. My chicken is 7 pounds and I made 2 quarts of brin and it covered the chicken. Is this enough brine?

As long as all the surface area of the meat is covered youre all set. Usually a gallon is more than enough for most meats, except turkey.
