Rascal,
i haven't brined.... brining is done (from what i hear) to help guarantee a moist bird, and add flavor. i can't speak for the flavor aspect, but i have never had a dry bird from the egg. ovens don't overcook food. cooks do! i use my thermapen, and go from that.

i have no defense against the thinking that brining adds flavor. but my position w/r/t a moist bird is, brining isn't required, but is a bit of insurance.
