It is a way of adding moisture to meat, especially poultry, so it does not
dry out when cooked. It is a process of osmosis that does the deed.

Cup of salt, cup of sugar, gallon of water is a good start.

If you are buying that already seasoned injected stuff, it will not accept a
brining as it is already saturated. .
