1. 1

   Wet brining meat is a great way to add flavour and increase juicyness of any meat. You can wet brine any meat but it works best for meat you plan to dry roast, grill or BBQ. You can add sugar to the brine but for most meats this will cause the outside to burn before it gets crispy. This means sugar is best only used for things like ham.
