You can do a wet or a dry brine, but it's about internally seasoning the meat and allowing the electrolytic ions relax the protein structure so it doesn't squeeze out all the moisture when cooked.
Also using a calculator is a good way to ensure you're getting 1% salinity by weight if you only have volumetric measuring devices, but if you're already using a kitchen scale then that's not as much of an issue.
