Dextrose is sugar. Sweetens the meat. Should help keep moisture in the meat too. Could help with caramelization (browning) of the skin/surface since sugar + heat = caramel.

Sugar helps keep in juices and it facilitates browning.

I use Sucrose not Dextrose in my chicken brine along with salt. They are interchangeable.
