It seems like 325 is too low but it is definitely not. I brined for 8 hours and split the difference between the 325 recommended here and the 375 recommended by the fryer manufacturer but 350 was way too hot. The outside was far darker than I wanted. As for the seasonings, next time, I go with thyme and more of a KFC copycat blend because it turns out that I'm not crazy about oregano on chicken. That isn't a flaw with the recipe. Seasoning is a highly individual thing.
