Chicken turned out great. Already figuring out ways to make it even better. Have a feeling I have found a replacement for my drag racing addiction lol

I recently tried melted butter injection on a whole chicken. Smoked it for 8 hours on my Traeger at 180. The most tender chicken I have ever had.

That sounds really good do you just inject it under the skin or do you go all the way in

All the way in (Not extending into the cavity of course) covering every area. Probably 5 -6 injections just in the breast on each side. The thighs and a bit in the back. I used to put butter under the skin until I saw this fellow on TV inject the chicken with the melted butter. Unbelievable. Much easier than trying to get it under the skin.
