You need 1 whole chicken, from 6-8 pounds, giblets removed and discarded.
1 1/2C table salt
1 1/2C sugar
2 medium heads(this is the entire bulb of garlic), papery skin removed, cloves separated and unpeeled, crushed.
6 bay leaves, crumbled
You are going to need a large bucket for the brine. I use a car wash bucket because it can also be used with a turkey. Paint buckets(available at hardware stores) also work well.
Dissolve the salt and sugar in 1 gallon of cold water in bucket. Stir in garlic and bay; immerse chicken and refrigerate until seasoned, about 2 hours.
Nice easy step. I go with the car wash bucket because it isn't as tall as a paint one and fits better in my refrigerator. I found 1 at Target. Don't leave the chicken in much more then 2 hours, it will get too salty.
Roasting directions to follow.
