Okay, so wifey's girlfriend was coming over today, along with her husband and the girlfriend's G'Father, spend part of the day, we were going to feed them...been doing this third year in the row. They come from out of state, stop over here on the way to a time share they have and use in Orlando this time of the year. We (me) usually do chincken, this year no different so I brined three whole hens starting yesterday about this time (they've been in the brine now for 24 hours)
Plan was to roast them and not that it makes any difference, I was going to hang them in my 18.5 WSM using the Weber Expandable rack, on 6 hiooks, hooking each half (I brined the chicken after removing the back bone then cut them in 1/2), cooking over coals and a few pieces of wood, w/o the water bopwl or the charcoal shelf in place over the coals...been doing this for awhile and we like how they come out
Anyways, they called sometime today and now they wont be here ubntil tomorrow afternoon, citing some problem that came up. What should I do about the chicken halves in the brine? I have an idea they may take on too much salt if left in the brine for another 24 hours, or is that not an issue, or should I remove the chicken from the brine and plave the halves in a bag and store in the refrigerator to roast tomorrow? Any other ideas?
Crimeny, these are $10 birds each (Publix Greenwise)...I'd cook them up today but, I want to serve our company some hot birds, and not left overs
