When you are using chicken that contains up to 7% "solution," should you still brine it? I have heard that over-brining can start to make the chicken mushy. I have plenty of chicken to experiment with. I just bought 40lb of chicken quarters for $15.60!

I have never been a fan of wet brining chicken or turkey for that matter. I think the meat comes out with a ham-like flavor and texture. And since a lot of chickens are already "brined" I would avoid. I do, however, try to dry brine poultry when possible. Especially if you can find some without added salt.
