  1. One backyard bbq event I’ve been to – did not allow any seasoning (only trimming) prior to the event. The chicken is inspected in the morning – then off you go for turn-in late afternoon. Would you still brine the chicken in such an instance.

  2. Great video! The Jaccard is a great tool and I’ve never used it for that purpose. You cook to 190 internal? That seems so high for chicken. I guess the brine allows for it without drying out?

  3. 9:52 A lot of chicken thighs I find these days will have some meat with a good red color, but near the edges the meat is white. When cooked, it is tough and chewy.

    Do you notice that, and do you trim that off?

    It almost looks freezer burned. Mind you, it's not supposed to be frozen, but ends up freezing in the store.
