Before you begin, check the packaging to see if your chicken breasts are treated with salt water. If not, dissolve the 1/4 cup of salt in 6 cups of warm water (not too hot) in a large bowl. Add the chicken breasts and let them soak for 20-30 minutes. Then rinse them in cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

While the chicken is brining, mix the spices together in a small bowl and set aside.
