I will bet that the cheap bird had "solution added". What that means is the company injected the bird with a brine solution at the plant. Read the label close.

Basically, the cheaper the bird, the most the solution Big Grin

Already solution added aren't good candidates for brining. While you can try, what you don't know is % salt in their solution.

If a regular brine in a non-solution bird is still to salty, cut the salt in the brine, but I wouldn't go below may 3/4 cup of salt. 1/2 cup isn't enough.
