Serve with kimchi and soju for an authentic Korean lunch. Start by brining the chicken. Dissolve the sugar and salt in the hot water, then mix1 litre/1¾ pint cold water into the brine solution.

Dissolve the salt in a cup of boiling water, then add the rest ... However, I've had a brined chicken that came out of a chilli and ginger-infused brine and I couldn't taste anything.
