Naked chicken ?

[in. pred]

remove the skin and brine over night. your smoked bird will still be juicy.

On brining poultry, yeah it makes it come out more moist, but it also changes the texture of the meat in a way I don't care for.

My wife doesn't care for straight brined poultry. I made a batch of brined and cured drumsticks earlier this year and wife loved them.
Bought a big pack of thighs to cure on Thursday, tossed them in the pickle last night. After the first stir realized the chicken was spoiled. Thought at first it was the diaper, but no..
Gal at the customer service desk could smell it when I carried back for my refund. Triple bagged and in my freezer to bring to dump on Monday.
