325 degrees and cook it for 12 minutes per lb. You want 165 degree on breast and 170 on thigh portion. If it starts to brown to soon on breast just cover loosely with some foil.

Brine mix that I have always used.

1 quart of apple cider
1 quart of chicken stock
1 cup fine sea salt
1 cup of brown sugar
1 TBSP of dried rosemary, sage, thyme and poultry seasoning.
1 orange and lemon sliced
1 bulb of garlic
1 onion quartered
1 Tbsp of dried peppercorns

Bring big pot of above items to a boil until all salt has dissolved. Add one gallon of ice water to mix and submerge the bird for 24 hours.

Remove bird, rinse good and rub down with olive oil or veg oil, sprinkle salt, pepper and garlic powder.
