Just when you thought the foolishness was over, I decided to post one last Tic Tac Recipe. Truth be told, I did all of the recipes on my day off but thought y'all might be too overwhelmed absorbing them all at once.
I've never had any luck doing a brine for chicken. I tend to forget I was brining and when I remember it's a salt lick. These were chicken thighs that I put in a brine solution that was 1 cup orange tic tac simple syrup, 1/4 cup salt and a quart of water. After 5 hours in the brine, I patted them dry and added the dry rub that I put on the lamb. They then were baked at 350 for about 25 minutes and served with mashed potatoes and a big salad.
The brine did keep the chicken very moist. There was a very faint orange Kool-aid type of flavor which was neither offensive nor awe inspiring. The cardamom was very subtle...which frankly is a hard thing to do with cardamom since it has such a strong flavor.
I lost interest before I made anything with the green apple or wintergreen Tic Tacs.
Would I ever make any of these again? Well, I would put cardamom in a muffin again. I would also use the ground tic tacs as a sugar sprinkle on top of muffins or to rim a glass for a fancy drink. Pardon me while I toddle off to make an orange-tic-tac-rimmed pineapple juice spritzer.
