Agreed 100%. I can buy all natural broilers or processed broilers that have been treated with salt, sodium phosphate, and garlic. The treated ones (also cheaper) are what you get if you buy a rotisserie bird from most grocery stores/supermarkets. We use natural broilers and season 24hrs before with dry rub. I'm almost certain that the injected type is what KFC uses. Unless you are commercial, it doesn't seem that this type of chicken is available. |

Any Bird can be used
Patting Dry is not necessary if you Pre-dust the chicken with even Plain flour Herbs then Pre-Dust the chicken in Flour and then Pre-Dust the chicken and let it sit 30 Minutes to absorb the Moisture into the Flour.
On occasions we will Pre Dust the Chicken with a Flour and Milk n Egg Powder Mixture which will help draw the moisture out of the Chicken.
Then we use the Milk n Egg Warsh.

Commercial setting. |

Many processors will list on the chicken they sell or you need to cross reference's the item to there web site or contact for that answer.
Without Knowing the specific items I think many would be guessing some packaging specifies when the Chicken is Injected or Brined

Idk about where you live, but here on the US west coast, every grocery store has precooked rotisserie chickens in a hot case. If you have a local grocery store that sells cooked rotisserie chickens, from their deli or butcher counter, chances are they have been pumped with brine. Very few places brine/marinate in house. These birds are usually 3#, and great for frying. Maybe you could ask the department manager to sell you one that is raw, and break it down at home. |

Just Brine the chicken you get at Home, In a Chicken soup and water, Chicken soup mix has extra flavoring and salt, with M.S.G. plus IG and other, items which will marinade and tenderize the chicken you can use a syringe to inject some into the meat at home also to pump the chicken.
A local vet may sell you a Large syringe if you cant find a Extra large injection Needle Amazon has meat injectors also

I now believe the brine is just water, salt, msg and sugar.

if you want Full flavor depth use a Chicken Soup Stock in the Brine, Which usually contain, salt, M.S.G. Dextrose, and other ingredients to help flavor and tenderize the Meat.

I think too much "muddies" the taste.
