I googled and it says 20 mins per pound. I've got a 15.5 lb bird. That would be over 5 hrs. I'm using Alton Brown's brine method. One person on there said it cut down on the time. Any idea how long this should take? I want it done by 1:30 so we can eat by 2. If it's 20 mins per pound, I need to get it in now. But I don't want it to be over cooked.
ETA - Found my answer. Per AB's site (I missed this part last night) it takes 2-2.5 hrs for a 14-16 lb bird. When using his method, you cook it for 30 mins on 500 then lower it to 350. So this must cut the time way down.
