More chicken stuff

k-cooked chicken technically lasts 3-4 days in the fridge. I keep mine a couple days longer if it still smells okay and that's usually when I use it in a way that I'm reheating it (in a soup or other cooked dish).
Brining is where you soak raw meat in a salt water mixture for a long time before cooking it. A lot of people do that with whole chickens and turkeys. It's supposed to help the meat retain its moisture and flavor better. You can find instructions on brining right here.
