Should I brine a whole chicken before cooking in big easy infrared fryer?

That big easy will cook it perfectly , won't dry it out unless you are responsible for not timing correctly.

Chickens in there are always delicious.

I brine chicken, pork and any poultry any time I can. Basic brine is one cup water, one cup sugar per gallon of water. Whole turkey-24 hours, whole chicken 12 hours, cut up chicken several hours up to 12 or so.

Brine a pork shoulder overnight then roast. Wife has one sitting on the counter right now that will go in oven shortly.

I do turkeys in a char broil oil less fryer and it cooks fast so pay attention because they can over cook in a hurry.

You can add to the brine as you like, herbs, citrus, different spices etc...in a pork brine I sometime add cinnamon sticks. Just adds a different spice to it.

I only do wet brines but I'm sure dry brining works. Just do what I like personally.

I want to try this chicken brine soon

Saw it the other day watching some youtube videos. Looks like a great idea

I usually inject my birds or meats prior to cooking

Don't remember. Pretty big Internet forum dedicated to the char broil that should tell you.
