This recipe has been a total surprise. The techniq This recipe has been a total surprise. The technique is simple- all you do is submerge your chicken in a brine before cooking. The ingredient list is a little surprising- you only need 3 things: vinegar, salt and chicken. But don’t let the simplicity fool you. The flavor, taste and texture (think crispy chicken skin with juicy meat) will convert any skeptics into vinegar chicken fans.*12 Chicken Thighs or Chicken Drumsticks with the skin on*1/2 gallon white distilled vinegar* half the container of a 26 oz salt (yes table salt here. I know I know) 1Preheat grill, smoker, or oven to 325 degrees.2In a large bowl, mix the vinegar and salt together with your fingers. Stir until the salt no longer dissolves in the vinegar.3Place chicken in the vinegar and salt mixture, be sure to cover all the chicken. Set the timer for 7 minutes and 30 seconds.4Remove chicken immediately from bowl and place on a baking sheet with a rack on it to allow the chicken to drain a little.5Cook in preheated grill, smoker or oven for around 1 hour, or until the meat reaches at least 165 degrees (although it will fall off the bone if you can cook it until 175 degrees)6To get a really crispy finish, you can broil your chicken in the oven for a few minutes to finish them up. Devour those delicious thighs and drumsticks.
Meet Jaron! His love of cooking started when he jo Meet Jaron! His love of cooking started when he joined a foods class in high school and would frequently make scones and share the extras with his friends. He learned early on that he loved being able to create something that someone could eat and enjoy so easily. It’s honestly still one of his driving reasons to cook today. We’re so glad he decided to join our team and invited us into his pizza-crafting world. Follow him @backyard_brick_oven for some amazing pizza.

So you got a pizza oven, ready to use it? A few So you got a pizza oven, ready to use it? A few tips for pizza success. 1- don’t be afraid of flour on your surface. Last thing we want is your dough stuck to the counter. 2- keep your toppings on the lighter side. We know you love those flavors and all the fun but the more you load up the trickier it can be to bake. Keep it simple and remember you can add whatever you want after it’s baked. 3- yes your oven gets 900-1000 degrees but you don’t need it that hot for pizza. We love 700-800 especially for beginners. What sr r your favorite pizza tips?
