Chicken Wings with Cucumber Brine

6 servings

45 minutes

A brilliant invention. Usually a jar of brine is somewhere in the back of the refrigerator, waiting for its moment. Here, the brine played one of its main roles - it has long been known to everyone that it has a beneficial effect on the product that is to be fried. After meeting this brine, the chicken turns out more tender than tender, and most importantly - you can no longer salt it. We were lucky, for this recipe we used brine from Dijon cucumbers, and this sweet and sour taste after a couple of hours obviously decorated the dish. And here you also need bourbon, which adds an interesting piquancy, and the taste of the wings turned out to be multifaceted, more complex than you could imagine. Well, again, no one is stopping you from remembering about pure, unclouded bourbon during dinner.
