Injecting thighs?

dano · Aug 12, 2013

Was thinking about using some homemade and commercial injections in my thighs but am not sure how much to do. Do you guys use a specific amount of injection or do you inject as much as the thigh can hold? Thinking about using Fab C Dark...and thoughts....injection time?

I don't inject thighs.

I did it.
Did not help.

But.....
Maybe others have different results.

I use FAB CD and really like the results. it seems to add a layer of moisture and flavor that I was miss before.

We don't inject.

I inject with a homemade injection, and I think it adds a layer of flavor. I inject about an hour before I put the chicken on to start cooking.

I've been using Butcher's bird booster with great results.

Did you inject after inspection or just before cooking?

I inject as much broth as they can hold

I once injected with Welch's white grape peach juice, got a 2nd place call, but I think it was pure luck...

Against the rules to inject before inspection.

about 3-4 hours before they hit the cooker.

Thanks! I will give it a shot.

Thanks. I was just wondering if people were injecting after inspection and letting it rest or if it was done right before the food went on.

Probably all depends on the injection. If it's like a brine, you wouldn't want to leave it in there all night.

I have just switched to using Butcher BBQ Bird Booster Original. I really like it, a lot.

I once injected my thighs w/Tony Chachere's Creole Butter/Jalapeno Marinade...never again!

I've had mixed luck using a fork to lightly Jacard the thighs before putting them in my marinade. It seems to help get the marinade further down into the meat. Have no proof of it and I could be fooling myself, but it seems to work ok.

We marinade our chicken with our Smoke On Wheels BBQ Marinade, then strain it and use the the liquid and inject with it sometimes.
