When to salt your meat for BBQ is a three hour argument among pitmasters. I test the idea scientifically as well as by taste and texture to see if it is worth the effort to dry brine or if you should just salt you brisket right before you put it on the smoker.

This video is awesome and I really love your videos and I appreciate all the time and effort you put into it. I would really appreciate if you can make a similar experiment with chicken breast that doesn’t take so much preparation time. I’m desperate and frustrated because I always try to find out when the best time is to salt the chicken breast. Immediately before cooking, one hour before or longer or inbetween? How do I get the most juicy tender chicken breast? One other KZfaqr claim it’s best to salt right before cooking or an hour before but not inbetween?! Why? Like I said, I would really appreciate if you can make this experiment with basic plain boneless skinless chicken breast. Thank you very much for sharing so much great content

This matches pretty closely with another chicken test I wanted to do. The best part is . . . I don't know the answer, but dry brining does help chicken too. But where does the extra time stop being worth it? I'll have to find out and share.

​@@GrillTopExperience what the... you really responded to my comment. Thank you, I never expected this. For the last year I freak the f.. out in my kitchen trying to cook juicy tender basic plain chicken breast with just salt. Every day I ask myself if I´m really that stupid to cook chicken breast. I´ve tried so many different versions of salting before, after, right before etc. and every time, even everything else is consistent, like the product from the same butcher, same oven etc. I get another result. Sometimes I think the cicken breast that I salt one hour before is juicer, the next day I think the one I salted after cooking is juicer. I also measured and documented almost 30 chicken breasts and calculated the weight loss from water etc. but I don´t get a definitve answer. I would really appreciate if you as professional can teach me how to make basic plain salted boneless skinless chicken breast juicy af! what temperature, when to salt etc. context: I have sever chronic gut issues and I eat chicken breast almost every day for the last 5 years... thats why I´m so angry. Thank you very much. I appreciate you

This was really thorough. I've always wondered this myself but never tried a side by side comparison. I dry brine when I remember, but if I forget then I just salt before cooking. I'll try to remember to dry brine more often.

Can you season ribs, chicken, pork and brisket a day ahead of cooking? I have to cook in a crockpot due to health but was wondering if you could do this for help. Thanks so much
@GrillTopExperience
@GrillTopExperience Жыл бұрын
A day is about as long as you would want to go and that works well for thicker cuts like brisket and pork butt. Thinner cuts and chicken don't benefit as much from a long dry brine.

I’ve always thought it made a significant difference to salt early but I never tried side by side. Even more convinced now.

Are there meats that you never want to dry brine? Or does it always benefit everything?
@GrillTopExperience
@GrillTopExperience 2 жыл бұрын
Meat that is already salted wouldn't benefit, but just about everything else would. You have to vary the time though. You wouldn't dry brine fish very long.

I’ve a 200g Irish black Angus Fillet steak, looking to cook it on the gas bbq, what would be recommended way of cooking and salting etc?
@GrillTopExperience
@GrillTopExperience 2 жыл бұрын
I would cover it with two grams of salt and put it in the fridge uncovered for at least four hours, but not more than 12. Then do a quick sear on the gas grill, turn the heat down and put it on the top rack until it's the temp you want. Pull it off, put a pat of butter on it and your favorite seasoning. It should be salty enough, so don't add much salt if any.
