Do you brine your bird? Also any favorite side dishes, recipes anyone cares to share?

When you and SRD mentioned it I seem to remember putting that in. What I put wasn't everything because I couldn't remember it all of the top of my head.

Your spread sounds very similar to what my family usually does. Usually there is something new every year from one or both of my sisters who find a new recipe to try out.

One year after binge watching the Great British Baking Show on Netflix I did a pumpkin spice roll cake with cinnamon butter frosting for dessert.

How many people brine chicken as well prior to cooking it? I've experimented a couple times with pickle juice trying to get that Chik-Fil-A flavor going, first time was a little too strong, significant other called it pickle chicken.
