On a completely different note Jon you've given me an eye-opening idea. A large pad of butter on my turkey burgers, right before the provolone goes on. Why didn't I think of that sooner....
I inject with a stick I melted in the microwave. All of my rub mixed with oil goes under the skin, then a thin layer of butter on the outside. Between the oil inside and butter outside it crisps up quite a bit.
Oil on the skin is in contact with high heat so it can make it crispy, inside the breast just gets warmed, so I imagine it would be like eating warm oil which doesn't sound very good. Never have tried though.
1 half injected with 2oz EVOO
1 half injected with +- 2oz melted butter.
Cooked on a kettle, Kingsford fuse, no water, 325°-345° till done.
The EVOO side was much more moisture that the butter. Had a almost wet feel. No oil taste. Not great mouth feel.
Butter side was moist and just a hint of butter taste that would perhaps be undetected if you didn't know it was used. Much better mouth feel but still no eureka moment.
I need to do some additional testing. I dont think my controls were all that solid. This was a good trial to check out the injector and how to actually do the injecting. My first thought is its a pain that didn't give much ROI but I'll chalk that up to my lack of knowledge.
I have 3 more small birds in the freezer to play with so I'll try again next month. Mean time I can study up a bit.
