Chicken thighs, was gonna cook 'em Saturday eve but cooked them Sunday PM instead....28 hours in brine! Wife thought they were to salty and I agree. Pieces need no more than 4-6 hours.

Yup, made that same mistake myself. Even with a healthy rinse the salt prevailed.
Whole birds not so bad.

If it happens again throw em in fresh water and soak several hours. Will bring some of the salt back out.

Yes I did. And had I considered it a mistake I wouldn't have mentioned it!!
Brine is simple...1 cup salt, 1/2 cup sugar to a gal of water. Brine must be cold when chicken added. Nothing improves chicken flavor as much.
I do add some other stuff.

Honey, brown sugar, peppercorns, juniper berries, bay leaf, apple juice. You can darn near brine with anything. 'Cept liquid smoke. NO liquid smoke. Just do NOT over brine. :-). Or so I've heard.

Never liquid smoke. eh76...a little garlic also. You got to try brining. Yes, I've also heard you can over brine.

How long would you brine gizzards prior to smoking?
If you love someone set them free
If they come back no one else liked them
Set them free again

Will bring some of the salt back out. Then you can go ahead and re-brine...and do it right this time.

I don't see the purpose of brining anyway...think it's overrated.
