A day of salting makes all the difference.

Way juicier even if overcooked, that's what got me. Do you use the same amount of salt for a whole chicken as you would for pieces?

Absolutely. Started doing overnight dry brines last year and it's a complete game changer. The texture is completely different, way juicier even if you accidentally overcook it a bit.

Game changer is right, @val274, makes the meat so much more tender.
