mmm that makes sense. Man my turkeys have sucked, i'll definitely brine the whole bird this year if i'm in charge of a bird! we have a keylime tree and an orange tree that produces small tart oranges (or sweet if we wait till the very end of the season to harvest). Would it be better to put a whole slice of keylime/orange in there or should i peel that top layer and only use that?
I think cut it and put it all in but not 100%
perhaps ill look up some recipes later, i'm sure one of them has got it figured out. i know in the past i've tried random marinades i make off the top of my head that were pretty good, but i know i've screwed some up by putting the whole citrus wheel in there. wherever it was on the meat left a very bitter taste overall, and that one spot especially
Oh yeah.. I think it is just for the brine only. I have done that putting a garlic clove inside of meat before. I didn't care for it.
