    I tend to over salt things and even I found this way to salty! I would suggest cutting the salt in half and adding more lemon or even lemon juice to the brine.

    Roast Brined Chicken, Makes a moist chicken with a simple mild herb flavor , I tend to over salt things and even I found this way to salty! I would suggest cutting the salt in half and adding more lemon or even lemon juice to the brine , Have made this at least 3 times now Definitely do not add more salt before roasting! Still quite tasty, but the extra salt on the skin made it inedible, and the skin is my favourite part!
