Rinse your chicken breasts and pat dry. Create your brine by adding everything in the brine section in 2 cups hot water. Mix until fully dissolved and cooled. Add ice and ice water and cooled brine together in a gallon sized Ziplock Bag. Add chicken. Place in fridge for 1+ hours. Massage and turn bag occasionally.
Pull your chicken and 2 by 2 - add to your second clean Ziplock Bag. With a heavy mallet - beat chicken to equal thicknesses.
Trim any fat or anything unsightly. Lightly oil chicken breasts.
Clean, oil and high heat your grill. Preheat grill for 15 minutes.
Grill chicken for 3 minutes on each side with your grill covered. Grill until you achieve a slight char.
