Has anyone brined and then done Maxs turkey?

I've done Mad Maxs turkey four times, all with great success. I recently brined my first turkey breast and it was very good. I was wondering if I did both if I'd get a double whammy. Or do you think "if it ain't broke........" Thanks for any thoughts, Brett

Did you still get a crispy skin? I've only brined the once before and the breast was great but the skin didn't crisp up as much as I would have liked.

You need to plan ahead, but when the bird finishes brining, dry it with paper towels and put, uncovered, into the fridge for at least 6 hours...24 is better. This dries out the skin. Oil the skin well so it will "fry" in the Egg. This helps restore the crispness.

I Mad Max'd a kosher brined bird last year and it was excellent. You'll want to watch the amount of salt in your stock. Best gravy ever.
