- Yes. I use something very simple like dormerson said below. I also smoke mine TampaIrish 8:31am · 11/19/20
  - Normally we roast one and deep fry one, but won't have the huge gathering so not deep frying this yr TakethetrainKnute 9:59am · 11/19/20
    - I tried deep frying one. Not a fan of it. Now the deep fryer has become my crab boil pot.NT TampaIrish 10:17am · 11/19/20
      - My BIL got it down to a science. Injects all sorts of flavors into the bird. Comes out great... TakethetrainKnute 10:22am · 11/19/20
        
        and it only takes about 45 minutes to fry. Delicious bird. Hibakusha 10:11pm · 11/19/20
- Brining is great, mashed potatoes is probably the favorite side dish. wrdomerson 6:42am · 11/19/20
  - Brine is similar to yours...usually toss in some garlic apple cider and cranberries as well. TakethetrainKnute 10:52am · 11/19/20
    - It's entirely possible that it has ACV in the brine wrdomerson 12:22pm · 11/19/20
      - Depends on how much time I have before cooking the chicken. TampaIrish 12:39pm · 11/19/20
  - Indeed. Try a splash of apple cider or ginger ale for some sweetness in addition to sugar.NT Stark Raving Dad 9:53am · 11/19/20
    - I like this idea. Going to have to add some.NT TampaIrish 10:16am · 11/19/20
    - Yep, apple cider goes in with my brine... TakethetrainKnute 10:00am · 11/19/20
