I always have some chicken - either breasts or thighs - to throw on
the smoker when I do a rack of spares or a butt, or whatever. I
always make the best use of fuel. And chicken breasts have been
$.79/.99lb for the last few months. That's cheaper than most any
vegetable!

Anyway, I made the mistake of cooking unbrined chicken breasts
today. Never again will I not brine chicken beasts.
