I would also pay attention to the % of solution in the Turkey. If over 10% I would reduce the amount of salt being used.

Take care,

I was going to post a new thread, but since this is pretty much the subject, and not too old of a thread, I thought I'd just post here.

What I mean by that, is when I read this thread I thought... you know? I've always wondered about injecting meat. So I said to myself, I should try it!

Which brings me to my question... If I were to buy a whole chicken, say "fryer size" which, off the top of my head I can't think of how many pounds that is, but I always see them in the grocery store... what would be the cooking time? I just have you're good ol' cheapo charcoal grill.

If I bake it in the oven will it be as good?

1 1/2 to 2 hours for a 4 to 5 pound chicken or until the internal meat temperature reaches 165 degrees. I have never made this in the oven but I bet it would be good.

This sounds great - we're doing a turkey on a spit this Xmas and this sounds like a great recipe to use - thanks Debbie!
