I've been deep frying for about 10 years now and love that crispy turkey skin. Have used a cajun rub that works well. I'm curious what you all think about injecting the bird? I've always done it, but I'm really not sure how much it helps. Have used Zatarains & Tony's for store bought injection, seems like the only time I can tell it works if I actually get a piece where it's injected. Fried anything seems to stay juicy. Pretty sure I won't inject this year.

We fry one about every other year. Son in law likes a Cajun injection that he will use. I don't know what brand he gets, it comes as a kit with the injector. Probably gets it at the grocery store. All birds have come out very good until last year. That one was on the dry side. We pulled at 155 using 2 proves. Probably just the luck of the draw on that bird but the injection couldn't help. It wasn't heavily injected as the wife and I watch our salt intake. I'm smoking a breast this year and will.inject with butter the Meadhead method. I have never smoked just a breast before so I'm using his instructions. All previous whole birds have been smoked for 90 minutes then put into the fryer. In my everyday smoking I don't inject anything. -
I have been frying the bird for about the same amount of time. I injected the first couple or three and then, like you, didn't see the value so I stopped.Comment
