For the brine:
3tbsp kosher salt
2 tbsp light brown sugar
1 Qt. water
½ cup of apple juice
One small piece of dried orange peel
1 spring of rosemary
One two pounds Hen
Some mix vegetable ( I used Japanese pumpkin, carrot, eggplant, celery and onion)
Preheat oven to 425 F.
Bring the brine to a boil. Then remove the brine from the heat, cool to room temperature, and pour that into a big container then put the hen in it and refrigerate it for 24 hours. Make sure the brine covers the whole chicken.
Chop the vegetable and mix together with olive oil, salt and black pepper and evenly put on a cooking sheet. Put the chicken over the vegetable. Roast the chicken for about 1 hour or until the thickest part of the breast reaches 165 F.
This recipe is so good, the chicken always turns out so juicy and the veg so flavorful.
