    The Foodnetwork has no respect for the finances of its followers. To again and again print mistakes in recipes just to have the dish thrown out is very sad and disrespectful. You should have more respect for food and for people starving in the world to ensure we don't throw food out due to your misprints. Shame on the chefs who post a handful of new recipes each year perhaps and even they do not take the time to ensure they are posted correctly. That certainly is a lack of pride in one's work. Hmm, guess it's just about the money, isn't it?

    Why are you introducing TV chef workers who appear to be so stupid ...re: food, cooking, social, etc? Now,,,you have internet designers placing a sign FORBIDDEN when a user is asking for a print format of a recipe? I have been an active customer of yours from day one but you are changing. It is becoming clearer why your station is being terminated. ISSUE...why do you print a brine recipe for 7 CUPS of salt? There is something wrong with FoodTV management BUT no one is being public. Please remove my name from COMMENTING on a recipe. Thank You.........please don't print.

    ATTENTION: THERE IS A TYPO in the recipe - the brine should call for 1 cup of salt - NOT 7 cups. Otherwise, the chicken is delicious.

    I wish I had read these reviews before making the brine last night. I used only a couple of cups but it was still way too salty. Someone please cut the salt on this recipe before another meal is ruined.

    This is really a great recipe! Too bad Food Network after all of these reviews hasn't fixed it. NapaStyle.com (Michael's retail business has the correct recipe. And they give you the option to buy it already made! PLEASE TRY THIS RECIPE! When done correctly its amazing!

    Way to salty to eat. Wasted alot of chicken and ingrediants. Why too much salt and too heavy on the spices covering the chicken. The worst recipe that I've gotten off Food.com.

    What a waste of time and food, first I was upset with myself for not dbl. checking the recipe ingred. before preparing it. After I made it I then checked and found out NO typos it really does say 7 CUPS OF KOSHER SALT. Ugh! I used less salt than required 3 cups to be exact I even used more water still it was so salty we could not eat it. Sorry Michael I usually enjoy your recipes but this one was a bomb.

    As almost all of the reviewers have noted, there is too much salt in the brine. I watched the show. He does, in fact, use 7 cups when preparing. I reduced it to 3 Cups and the result was plenty salty, but not overly so. The toasted spice rub is delicious, and the combination of fennel and cinnamon is interesting in a good way. The chicken is amazingly moist and flavorful. It is a lot of work, but I like that it's done the day before. This is really good, and I will make it again.
