beer brined chicken thighs

Do
  • Boil 2 cups water with 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup salt. and 24oz beer.
  • Add some peppercorns and spices I guess
  • Cool mixture
  • Immurse Boneless skinless chicken thighs for 2 hours
  • Remove chicken and rinse
  • Sprinkle paprika, chili, ginger, cayenne on both sides
  • Grill for 5-10 mins per side

Notes
  • Do not use 1 tbsp salt per cup water for the brine. It is way too salty, even with rinsing and even with 1.5 hours of soak time.
  • It came out well but was way too salty. I think I should have rinsed them, I forgot to rinse off the brine so I think that was the problem.
  • The sprinkle came out well, but I think you really have to use a ton of spice. Mike used a lot, not just a sprinkle.

This was where I got the idea:
