Actually, when you buy whole roasters the majority of the time they're
injected also. It's actually difficult to get chicken that isn't injected
with saline - thus if you want to do your own brine, the chicken may turn
out too salty. Look at the ingredient list to try to see if the chicken you
are purchasing is injected or not.
