Time: 6 hrs., 8 hrs., 12 hrs., or 18 hrs.

The other spices and herbs are no proglem, just the above variations were found in numerous receipes.

Thanks in Advance!!!!!!
That looks like Alton Brown's recipe. Cant go wrong. Brines are pretty flexible. You can always try it on a chicken to see if you like it with less or more salt.
