1 Gallon Water
1.5 Cups Kosher Salt
I know this is a late response to an old post but here is my opinion.
1 Cup Sugar
.5 cup Dark Brown Sugar
8 tsp. Pink Salt (Sodium-nitrite)
1 tbl. Pickling Spice
1 Head of garlic, pealed and cloves smashed flat
Bring all ingredients to a boil for 3-4 minutes. Turn off heat an allow Brine to cool to room temperature. Place leg Quarter in non-eactive container and cover with brine. Weight the leg quarter to keep it submerged.
Brine for 48 to 72 hours. Remove from brine rise with cold water and pat dry. Make a series of narrow cuts and stuff them with good quality bacon chunks. Place Leg Quarter in fringe on a rack uncovered for 24 hours. Smoke at 225 until internal temp is 140, remove from smoker and allow to rest 15 minutes before slicing.
