So I've often heard of brined meat but I'm wondering if it's worth doing to some teal breasts I'm cooking soon. What are y'alls thoughts? For those that do what is the best way? How much salt would you use in a gallon of water or so? Do you add any other spices or anything? How long do you let it sit?

I've always used whole milk. Wash real well, place in covered pan with enough milk to cover and let sit a few hours. Drain, rinse and repeat til the milk is no longer pink or red

I always soak my duck breasts for a couple of days in salt water, changing the water daily. Then marinade in whatever you would like. Soaking them in salt water and changing the water really helps to pull alot of the blood out.

I brined a specklebelly for 24 hours and then put it on the smoker over Hickory. Best goose I've ever made.
You can find good receipes for any brine for a chicken. I used one of those.
It had bay leaves, pepper, salt, rosemary, and a few others. Add enough water to cover, breast down in the water. (shouldnt be too hard with teal)

I ended up just doing the milk thing like boudreaux said about 24 hours before cooking them and they came out awesome!! Took half a jalepeno filled with cream cheese on half a breast wrapped in bacon and put it on the pit. People that normally don't even like duck ate them and absolutely loved em. Thanks again gents

That's how I usually do mine an they always turn out pretty good. I've been wanting to attempt some different ways of cooking them up.

I brine chicken for 12-24 hours. About 1/2 cup of salt to a gallon of water, Sometimes I add shrimp boil or Cajun seasoning to it. Poultry taste completely different after it has been brined, beef and pork not so much.
