I put a roasting chicken in brine yesterday around 2pm eastern time. We had a medical emergency with a grandchild and could not remove it. I just got home today and its been almost 24 hours. Can I still bake it? Will it be alright? It smells ok.
It will be fine assuming the chicken was not spoiled BEFORE you brined it. Just remove the bird and rinse in some fresh water before using or soak in some ice water in the fridge for a few hours if you are concerned that it will be too salty. If nothing else, the brine retards spoilage. Were you also planning to soak it in buttermilk? If so, go ahead and do that.
Thank you all for the replies...I had just bought the chicken at the store, came home put in brine and had to leave...It has been in the ref the whole time...
thanks again
