Unlike the fried turkey where we used a store-bought injection marinade, I decided to make my own for the grilled bird. This is the first time I used rendered bacon fat. I’ve been missing out because this is AMAZING!

Ingredients:
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, barely melted
1/2 cup of bacon fat, barely melted
1 cup of chicken stock, I used homemade, ultra-low salt
1 tsp cayenne
1/2 tsp California chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp white pepper powder
1/4 tsp cumin powder
Note: It’s important to use powdered ingredients so you don’t clog the injector needle.
Also: Make sure your bacon fat and butter are just barely melted and cool enough to touch. If it burns your finger, it will cook the meat and we don’t want that just yet.
I hope you enjoyed the video and give my recipe a try – or at least use it as inspiration for your own custom poultry injection.
Thank you for watching!
