This Coca Cola Brine Recipe is one of my favorites to use when I am grilling or smoking meats! I always get the oddest looks when I say I use Coca Cola to brine my meat. As many odds look as I have gotten they quickly stop when they try the meat after it’s done. Coca Cola adds such a great flavor, and also tenderizes tougher meats!

Now, this is an easy brine to mix up and you can even add some changes. Please feel free to tweak it as you see fit. I tend not to add water to the brine if I am using ice. The ice will eventually melt and water down the Coca Cola Brine a bit.

How To Make Coca Cola Brine Recipe:

Pour Coca Cola into the container.   (In this brine I used 5 cans of Coca Cola, I’ve used a whole 2 liter for big batches before)

Mix in your other ingredients, this will bubble up with carbonation as you add in other ingredients to it.

 

Add all of the other ingredients to the container (on top of your chicken).

 

Mix well with a whisk to make sure it has mixed well.

 

Add in your meat.

 

Top with ice or more Coca Cola.

Allow your meat to brine for at least 4 hours or longer.  If you are brining pork or another tough cut of meat I recommend at least a 24-48 hour brine to allow the Coca Cola and salt to tenderize the meat.   

 

Grill up, smoke up, or crockpot up your meat as you see fit and enjoy!!  I love this brine on chicken!
