Brine and Baked Chicken

This was my first time brining the chicken. I used thyme, black peppercorns, bay leaves, onions, carrots, and lots of salt. Then I added some butter, wine, and salt right before baking.

I underestimated the time for baking. I baked it for an extra 40 minutes. It was extremely tender and juicy.

Very happy with the taste... as for the presentation - it won't happen next time. ;)
