Results were wonderful! Brined the chicken as instructed but only for 8 hours. Followed recipe except that I turned the chicken a bit more than instructed. The chicken was tender with a delightful crispy crunchy exterior. Will definitely add this one to my repertoire. This is the first recipe that was still crisp the day after making it and it was perfect.
