Feta Brined Chicken

Has anyone done this? I am doing this with a half chicken on Friday. Anyone have experience?

No experience here. But brine is brine, should work. (Yes, it has cheese and lactic acid in it, reminiscent of a buttermilk brine.)

Good point, Jeff, re Buttermilk.

How could that not be delicious? However, how to get enough brine would be, for me, the issue! Reminds me, I have some feta with no brine (how it comes from our local co-op) that I should turn into a Lebanese tomato salad for lunch today.

Sounds great, but as Jenise alluded to, a cup of brine sounds like a lot. I guess you could always augment it with the other options listed in the article if you have to buy too much feta to get a cup of brine.

We've done feta brined chicken many times (there's a Melissa Clark NYT recipe). Until recently we had a great Armenian store that sold Greek, French, and Bulgarian feta in bulk, they would happily give you extra brine. But the work around if you can't get is to just throw an ounce or two of feta in blender with a little salt and a couple cups water.
Really it's work trying (and yes it resembles buttermilk brined chicken)

OK I confess I read the thread without reading the article, and same idea for making brine was in article. Oops.
