Chicken parts

[kojo]

I'm going to throw some chicken on the smoker today and wanted to try the old butter and herb under the skin, the problem is i never done it and not quite sure how. Any help would be great.

I soften the butter to room temperature and mix in whatever spices I like such as garlic, onion, basil and canjun spice and just stick your finger under the skin and wiggle in a hole and stuff the buttermixture in. You can also melt the butter and spices and inject it into the meat - that's really good!

I use a stick of butter (Margerine actually) to 1 teaspoon or each spice. If you inject make sure it's all chopped up small or it may clg the injector.

Good luck!
