Mix all ingredients until all salt and sugar is disolved. Brine chickens at least 4 hours, but can be up to a day or more. When finished, remove chicken from brine and dry with paper towels. You can season the skin with black pepper, if you like, but do not use any seasoning with salt! Then grill, bake, or smoke the chicken as you normally would.
