This brining was definitely more successful than the cider brine. Probably mostly due to the fact that it wasn't overcooked. It was, however, a tad more salty than I would have liked. I think it was because I used sea salt instead of kosher salt. No biggie. Everything was fairly unsalty so really it just complemented it. But now the gravy we make from it will be super salty. Hrrm...what to do with that...
The recipe is fairly lengthy so I will link it. Courtesy of Bon Appetit.
