The market had fresh Foster Farms chicken @ $0.79/# so bought two. Spatchcocked and into brine for 24 hr. Brine:1c Kosher salt in 1gal water with zest and juice of 3 lemons. Did a good rinse and dry after the brine, then seasoned with 3tbs Secret Weapon and 1tbs crushed bl. pepper, and enough OO to make a paste. Then into the refer for O.N.

It was then into the Bradley for a 2 hr smoke/cook @220* with hickory. After two hrs the IT was 138* in the thigh, so it was then into the SRG, on low with the lid down, until IT was 164* in the breast. Out of the SRG and a rest under foil until time for dinner, about 45 min.

24 hours in a 1cup salt/1 gallon solution, didn't that make them too salty?
Use Kosher salt, much more coarse, rinse well after 24hr, salt taste no problem.
