Tyson Foods Tyson Foods packed this chicken in nearly 1 ¼ cups of brine. Seems excessive. Purchased at Walmart. Juneau Alaska

I purchased this sealed Tyson whole chicken fryer at Walmart. It contained nearly 1 1/4 cups of brine. That much brine adds a lot of unnecessary weight to the package. It seems to be an excessive amount of liquid for a 5.86 pound chicken. Do they need this much brine or are they ripping me off by making me pay for all of this brine? Walmart used to sell (((REDACTED))) chickens which have no brine, or excess liquid, and taste a whole lot better, in my opinion. I won't be buying any more of these Tyson chickens from Walmart!
