Smoking chicken

[cansmoke]

When cooking skin on chicken the seasoning mix goes onto the skin and does not get to the meat. Suggestions?

Pull the skin back, apply seasoning, pull skin back up........and/or inject

I used to always losen the skin and mix my seasoning with butter . Rub the butter under the skin.
Now days i inject and brine , and only put black pepper on the skin .

Order some Butcher BBQ Bird booster injection. Thank me later :). Seriously it wil give you the moistest tastiest bird ever. Alternatively you could use some Tony Chacjeries injection. It also has phosphates.

Put you finger under the skin and loosen it up. You’ll make a kind of pocket. This will let you put rub or compound butter underneath.

Brine.
You can include seasonings in the brine mix if you like.
You may just be amazed at how much flavor you get with a simple salt + water brine and then season on the skin and all of the outside of the chicken with your other seasonings MINUS salt.

I do it all the time for amazing chicken! I hope this info helps :)

I usually brine and do the butter rub under the skin with good results. But

I did a bunch of whole turkey breast awhile back injected with it. Multiple folks have told me they have never had breast so juicy. I concur, it’s astounding even over a month later out of the freezer.

I also like that stuff. Kosmo has a couple good bird injections also. As well as a nice beef injection I love

I don't know about you or everybody else? But I like my chicken skin seasoned on both sides!

I like the Cornell recipe. marinate.
when grilling, brush on the sauce, sprinkle with your rub and turn over, repeating the process. The marinade will help the rub stick.

always get great results with Cornell, with or without sprinkling on extra spices/rubs
