BTW , out of curiosity , @weinoo  what do those Belle Birds cost ?

 

As I checked today, it has gone up from $5.39/lb. to $5.99/lb. for whole birds (which run around 4 lbs.).

 

I often buy only thighs - and they are currently $6.99/lb.

 

Another high quality chicken they offer, Snowdance Farms, run $7.49/lb. for whole birds.

 

All of the above products are greatly enhanced by pre-salting - I usually try for somewhere between 24 - 48 hours, and leave the bird or parts partially uncovered at the bottom of my refrigerator.

I did as you suggested and dry brined my last chicken thighs. Was a very tasteful bird!
