For an even more intense flavor, consider adding a few cloves of garlic and a quartered onion to the brine. Ensure the chicken is fully submerged in the brine for optimal results. Brining time can be adjusted based on the size of the chicken. Smaller chickens may require less time, while larger ones may benefit from a longer soak.
