Brine.

Brine - works great for chicken or pork.

1/2 cup kosher salt 
½ cup white or cider vinegar 
½ cup granulated sugar 
½ cup soy sauce 
1 TBSP. pickling spice 
1 tsp. Cajun seasoning 
1 tsp. black pepper 

In a large stock pot, bring all ingredients to a boil for 5 min. Remove from heat and let cool to room temp. In a large container or bucket submerge the chicken (whole, pieces, boneless breast) and place in the refrigerator covered. 6hrs – 24hrs for larger bone-in pieces and only up to 2 hours for boneless.
