\"\"<\/a>Not everyone has two and half hours available to prep\/cook dinner. Seriously, if I followed Alton’s recipe verbatum I’d have to start at it LONG before I got home from work OR we’d be eating at 10pm. Neither of those are acceptable so I’m running through my short-cut options.<\/p>\n

Option 1 – Skip the brine.
\nI hate to miss out on the brine.. especially since that was the primary reason for the shot.. the rub being mostly secondary. So this isn’t really an acceptable solution.<\/p>\n

Option 2 – Oh the chicken will come out.. Tomorrow!
\nPrep the chicken one night, cook the next.
\nI’m wary that leaving the chicken in the rub overnight will give it -too- much flavor. So I’m favoring a third option.<\/p>\n

Option 3 – I’d gladly brine you on Tuesday.
\nBrine the chicken one night. Rub and cook the next.
\nBrine chicken for 1.5 hours. Remove from brine store “dry” in resealable plastic baggie. Rub it the next night, rest for 30 minutes, then grill.<\/p>\n

We’ll see how it turns out.<\/p>\n

Additionally, I found AB’s recipe to be too salty. We cut it down from 3.5 oz of salt to 3 oz. Honestly I still think it’s too salty.. but F says I’m smoking crack and it’s fine. So I’ll leave it at 3 oz for now.<\/p>\n
