Find a large container to hold your liquid, ice, and meat in.
Pour the Coca-Cola into the container; each can is about 1.5 cups of Coca-Cola.
Next mix Coca-Cola with the Worcestershire sauce and the minced garlic to start the Coke brine in the container.
Add the dry ingredients to the liquid mixture.
Combine cola and seasonings well with a whisk to make sure it has mixed well.
Next, add your meat to the brine; I recommend adding the rest of the pieces one at a time.
Add to the container ice or more Coca-Cola if needed.
Allow your meat to brine for at least 4 hours or longer in your large covered bowl or container.
The most critical step of the brine is to keep the meat in cold water, not room temperature.
Remove the chicken from the brine and place the meat on a wire rack over a baking sheet.
Fire up your grill or smoker to cook your meat!
You will want to cook on medium heat, not high heat.
As with any meat, cook it to a food-safe temperature, and verify using a meat thermometer.
