Hi,
What he said. Plus, if you don't have room in the fridge, use an ice chest. Just substitute large plastic bags (one inside the other). That also lets you get by with less added water to the brine.
Of course, if you're on a low sodium diet, forget brines. And check out all the fowl you buy, injecting a salt solution is a cheap and easy way to increase the weight, plump the bird (any type) up, and yield a more tender product. It's also a good way of getting your daily salt allowance in one serving of chicken.
