This is what I use every year. Really tasty. I brine for about 12-14 hours then rinse coat with garlic paste and season it up. Cook on grill dome and it is outstanding.

Ttt
1/2 cup coarse salt, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup if the following: fiesta fajita seasoning, cumin, garlic powder, paprika. 3 bay leaves, gallon of water, 15 hours. Rinse coat in mustard and season to preference prior to cooking
Look at Alton browns recipe from food network. It has 4500 5 star ratings. I made it this past weekend and it was amazing. Very easy also
Also, you can brine for too long, 12 hours is plenty. I usually do 6-8 hours for brine.
+1 on Alton Brown!
I've used his recipe successfully many times.

Alton Brown!
Does the brown sugar give it a "strong" sweet taste?
no, you probably couldn't tell the difference no matter what kind of sugar you use unless you quadrupled the amount
+1 for Alton's recipe (the one from Good Eats). It does not give a strong sweet taste. Also, try adding some bourbon to the brine - maybe 1/2 cup for every 8 cups of water
Add bourbon? Sounds interesting. I hate to waste good bourbon though.
he didn't say add good bourbon.
What's the point in buying cheap bourbon?
To put in a brine and give to "friends" you don't really like, of course
I've always heard never use alcohol in a brine or marinade.

to drink it? never forget where you came from. i'll never be too good for a pour of ezra brooks, beam or jack.
Alcohol is a natural meat tenderizer, much like the enzymes that come from fresh pineapple, etc.
I have used the Pioneer Woman's brine recipe the last few years

I agree, never too good for Jack. But I sure as hell am too good for Rich & Rare.
