Last year, I cooked two separate Thanksgiving dinners. I wet brined the first turkey and it was good. I dry brined the second Turkey and it was spectacular! I have to say the dry brined turkey was not only a little bit tastier, but the texture was perfect.

The 14 hour lemon occurrence turned out very well. What kind of times were you going with? I am definitely not an expert, and I look forward to playing around with it in the future. Joe –

I brined some chicken one time too long, and the citric acid really denatured the meat and made it mushy. with the lemons in the brine with something like chicken, how long did you brine again?
