My weeknight chicken dinners went from dry to juicy after I started brining for just 15 minutes

I used to just throw chicken straight from the fridge into the pan, and it was always kinda tough. Then a friend told me to soak it in salt water while I prep veggies, and now it's way more forgiving even when I overcook it a bit. Has anyone else noticed a big difference from a quick brine?

Honestly, I was a skeptic about brining - thought it was just extra work for no reason. But trying a quick 15 minute salt soak totally changed my mind, it really does make a difference.

I mean it's literally just salt water, are we really acting like it's life changing?
