Clean and prep Chicken pieces. Season chicken with spice mix ( reserve some of spice mix for later).

3

Pour Jalapeño brine in with Chicken. Wearing gloves, mix spices into chicken until evenly coated. Place in refrigerator to Marinate for at least 4-6 hours. ( for skin on chicken pieces, I Marinate overnight.)
