I couldn't find a written recipe, so this is from the Cooking with Mary video.
Looks like a half-sheet size cookie sheet/baking pan.

Cook Time:
Total Time:
| 2 cups brown sugar |
| 1 cup salt |
| 2 tablespoons black pepper |
| water |
| 12-14 chicken pieces (legs and thighs are pictured) |
| 2 cups crushed crackers (look like Ritz or other 'buttery crackers') |
| 2 cups (or could be 3 cups) bread crumbs |
| 1 teaspoon seasoned salt |
| 1 teaspoon salt |
| 1 cup "sweet mayonnaise " (ok to add "extra") |
| 1 cup milk |
Add brown sugar, salt and pepper to medium bowl, stirring in about 2-3 cups water. Mix until salt and brown sugar is dissolved. Once the brine is dissolved, pour it into a large bucket (looks like around 5 gallons) with around 2 gallons water in it. Stir it all to combine. Place chicken pieces into brine water and refrigerate 12-24 hours.
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Carefully pour chicken pieces and brine into a collander in your sink. Drain well.
While chicken brine is draining, in medium bowl, stir together crushed crackers, bread crumbs, seasoned salt, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, mix together mayonnaise and milk. Use a whisk or hand until it's well blended. Set aside.
Roll each piece of chicken in milk/mayo mixture, then in seasoned cracker and bread crumb mixture.
(Probably should grease baking sheet, but it wasn't stated.)
Lay chicken pieces onto pan. Bake for 1 hour. (Safe cooked chicken temp is 165°F.)
