Chicken Injection Recipe
This chicken injection recipe is quick to prepare and is a great substitute for brining.
Ingredients
- 1/2 stick butter
- 2 cups apple juice
- 2 tbs lemon juice
- 2 tbs sea salt
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Let cool to room temperature before injecting the chicken.
Notes
Inject the chicken with as much of this liquid as the bird will hold. Inset the needle directly into the meat and do not puncture the skin of the chicken.
Ideally you will let the chicken rest for at least 30 minutes after injecting to allow the liquid to evenly distribute and give the salt time to start tenderizing the meat.
