Dry brining, also known as early salting, is a smart technique that results in enhanced flavor, texture and juiciness of meat. Dry brining is a great way to ensure juicy results with chicken, pork, lamb and duck. And, of course, Thanksgiving Turkey!

There are so many benefits to Dry Brining...
Enhanced Flavor: Dry brine penetrates the meat, enhancing its natural flavor, not just on the skin - dry brining seasons meat through and through.

Improved Texture: The salt in the dry brine helps break down muscle proteins, resulting in a more tender and juicy texture when cooked.

Moisture Retention: Dry brining helps the meat retain moisture during cooking, preventing it from drying out and resulting in a juicier end result.

Crispier Skin: Dry brining skin-on chicken and turkey helps draw out moisture, resulting in a crisper, evenly browned skin. 

Our Dry Brine is a combination of savory herbs and pure, clean Sonoma kosher flake salt. Use 1 Tablespoon per five pounds of protein. Salt the meat and refrigerate for at least 12 hours. Then rub with oil or butter and roast. 

Ingredients: Salt, rosemary, sage, savory, garlic

Steven Z. ★★★★★

I used this on a whole chicken overnight and the skin crisped up way better than any wet brine I've tried before. Even the breast meat stayed noticeably juicy all the way through.

David H. ★★★★★

The texture difference is honestly the big win here—my chicken came out with crackly, crispy skin and the meat stayed juicy all the way through. I just rubbed it on the night before and let it sit in the fridge, and the salt penetration did all the work. Even the pork chops, which usually dry out on

Owen ★★★★★

I used this on a pork shoulder before roasting, and the meat came out incredibly tender with a nicely seasoned crust. It's simple to apply and let rest overnight in the fridge.
