My Tuesday night chicken went from a dry 45-minute ordeal to a juicy 20-minute win after I finally listened to my mom about brining...

I saw the difference in one week, from tough, sad chicken breasts to perfectly tender ones, just from soaking them in salt water for 30 minutes before cooking.

I mean it's just chicken though, right? Seems like a lot of extra work for a weeknight.

Totally get where you're coming from, @brooked40. I felt the same until I tried a sheet pan version. Just toss chicken thighs with some potatoes and broccoli, one pan, 425 for about 25 minutes. The extra flavor from the thighs makes it feel special without the fuss.
