Brining overnight in a salt-water solution flavoured with herbs, lemons and oranges does amazingly good things to a chicken. The seasoning and flavours are sucked in and permeate the meat and the magic of the brine means that the chicken stays really (sorry for the creepy word but sometimes there's no avoiding it) moist.
We then simply dry the chicken and stuff it with some of the same flavourings (citrus, garlic and herbs) for an extra flavour boost.
