Hungry For More: Basic Brined Chicken
Join Hungry For More’s Jim Manney and LaurelLee Loftsgard and learn how a simple brine can take your basic chicken to the next level!
Basic Brine
2 ½ Cups Water
2 Tablespoons Kosher Salt
10 Peppercorns
2 Bay Leaf
½ Lemon
Heat water and salt until salt dissolves. Squeeze in lemon juice, and lemon rind, peppercorns, bay leaf and any other herb or spices you wish to incorporate. Take off the heat and let cool completely. Pour over chicken, turkey or pork and keep in a resealable bag in the refrigerator up to 8 hours. Make enough so all of the meat is covered, double or triple if necessary.
Note: To speed up the process, heat only half the water needed and after you remove the pan from the heat add the remaining liquid amount as ice to help cool.
Brined Chicken Breast
1 lb. Chicken Breast
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
Pepper
Heat over to 400. If you used a brine, remove chicken from the liquid, rinse with cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Season with pepper (and salt if you didn’t brine). Heat saute pan over medium high heat, add olive oil and carefully place chicken breast in the pan. Make sure there is enough room so the chicken isn’t crowded. Brown chicken breast on both sides and finish in the oven (about 10 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165F)
Roasted Asparagus
Asparagus
Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper
Heat oven to 400. Wash and and dry break off woody stems of asparagus. Place asparagus in a single layer on baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and roast for 25 minutes. Asparagus should be tender but crisp.

Street Fair expert divulges his secrets for moist and delicious grilled pork chops
You know how easy it is to dry out pork on the grill. So why do those pork chops grilled by the Underwood Lions every year at the Downtown Fargo Street Fair always taste so good?
The Lions have been grilling pork chops at the Street Fair for more than a dozen years. They’re served every year by employees of The Forum and WDAY (who try hard not to sneak samples).
So what’s the secret to those Lion’s pork chops? Tracy Briggs caught up with John Quaale the man who started it all.
The money raised from pork chop sales go to charities around the region. Recently, the Underwood Lions donated $10,000 towards a veteran’s memorial.
Know Your Identity and Have Faith In It
