Okay. Have any of you out there ever heard of this practice called “injecting a chicken”? Is everyone sticking enormous hypodermic needles into their dinners, and am I just out of the loop?
Well, I was given the assignment of injecting one of the two chickens we cooked up last night with something called “Cajun Butter.” Want to make your own chicken injection? Here’s how you do it.
What you need:
1 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup butter
2 tbsp onion powder
2 tbsp garlic powder
2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp Tabasco
What you do:
1. Combine all ingredients in a saucepan; heat until butter is melted.
2. Stir and continue heating until sauce is very liquefied. Inject in this pattern while still hot enough to stay liquid.
