Does /ck/ brine their chicken?

i did last time i made chicken but i think i overdid it cause it was SUPER SALTY

that was probably some liberal chicken xD

Frying yes
Roasting no
Brine thins the skin

Cuts both ways on roasting though. A simple, no brine roast chicken is great, but there's a lot of room to change the flavor with a brine
For example, flavoring the chicken based upon the veggies you roast alongside it.

When I make a whole roast chicken yes. If im making just breast or things I'm most likely just going to combine them with a sauce so no.

>tfw it is about to get really cold and I won't be able to pick a bunch of thyme to stuff between the skin and meat.

I'm a crispy skin kinda guy. So I only salt heavy at least 4 hours before cook time. I hate the term "dry brine"
If I want to meld flavors then I usually go with a saute and fricassee.
