It’s officially football season and my favorite time of the year! We teamed up with 15 other bloggers to bring you some awesome recipes that are perfect for your next tailgate.
Our quick brined chicken thighs are juicy, flavorful, and so easy to whip up.
The real MVP of this tailgate friendly chicken recipe is the ThermoPop thermometer. We’ve needed a new meat thermometer for so long and I’ve been eyeing this one from ThermoPop so I was SO excited when they decided to sponsor all these awesome tailgate recipes and send us one to try.

Method
Prepare brine. Shake container well as contents may settle.Mix 2.5 tablespoons of brine seasoning to 1 cup of boiling water. Cool thoroughly and refrigerate until chilled.
Place thawed chicken thighs, brine mix and an additional 3/4 cups of water (per pound) into a large container or bag so that meat is submerged completely. Keep in fridge to brine for at least two hours.
Rinse chicken and pat dry. Season with Kansas City Seasoning Rub.
Heat your grill, preferably charcoal. Once grill is ready, cook chicken thighs for 4-5 minutes on each side or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
