    GaryJ, do a couple of young fryers like that. Brine for 24 hrs., rinse well, rinse well again, pat dry and let uncovered for a day if you can. Then rub with olive oil with your hands as you run your hands under the skin pulling it away from the meat as far as you can. Then season under and above the skin and let it sit for a few house if you can. Then cook at about 300-350 until the internal of the thigh meat reaches 200. Don't test the temp for nearly 4 hours. Chicken skin should look very tasty when the thigh reaches 200. Meat will be tender and moist. Almost impossible to overcook brined birds. They just get more tender and juicy.

    I should have said let stand uncovered in refrigerator for a day. Refrigeration is a must. I even add ice to my brine water after I mix the salt to create the 1 gal. water per cup of kosher salt. That way the birds go into salty ice water and does not compromise the birds freshness.
