Well thank you, I can tell you the one with brine has a big difference, I gave each piece to my wife and asked her which one tasted better she pointed out the brine everytime

I love tests like this. Bearcarver has some magnificent posts where he gives the results of, in some cases, almost a dozen trials, each using different ingredients or techniques.

Your efforts make me a better cook. Thanks!
