I use to wet brine turkeys. I still wet brine chicken thighs using a recipe from thirdeye- check his blog- I use the lite brine using 1/2 the kosher salt. i also add a bay leaf, a little old bay seasoning and when the water is finished boiling some honey. I make it the night before so it is ice cold when I put in the chicken. I like Harvest Brine for a dry brine. I really like brining the thighs. It makes them juicy and it makes it hard to mess up
