CHICKEN INJECTED RECIPES

Steps:

• Pour the liquid into a Instant Pot. Position the bone-in chicken breasts in the liquid in a crisscross pattern (rather than stacking them on top of each other) so that steam can circulate among them. Sprinkle the top of each with 1 tsp dried seasoning blend and 1/4 tsp salt (if using). Lock the lid onto the pot.
• Optional 1 Max Pressure Cooker Press Pressure cook on Max pressure for 35 minutes with the Keep Warm setting off.
• Optional 2 All Pressure Cookers Press Poultry, Pressure Cook or Manual on High pressure for 40 minutes with the Keep Warm setting off. (The Valve must be closed)
• Use the quick-­release method to bring the pot’s pressure back to normal. Unlatch the lid and open the cooker. Insert an instant-read meat thermometer into the center of a couple of the breasts, without touching bone, to make sure their internal temperature is 165°F. The meat can be a little pink at the bone and still perfectly safe to eat, so long as its internal temperature is correct. If the internal temperature is below 165°F (or if you’re worried about the color), lock the lid back onto the pot and give the breasts 3 extra minutes at MAX, or 4 minutes at HIGH. Again, use the quick-­release method to bring the pot’s pressure back to normal.
• Use kitchen tongs to transfer the breasts to serving plates or a serving platter to serve. Or cool them at room temperature for 10 minutes or so, then store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500°F.
• Melt the butter.
• Use a hypodermic needle or baster-injector to inject the butter into the turkey. Or stuff solid butter under turkey skin.
• Place thyme in turkey cavity, lightly salt and pepper the bird inside and out.
• When temperature reaches 500°F, put turkey in the oven. Let cook for 20 minutes or until the exterior is crisp, but not golden brown. Reduce heat to 375°F. Let bird roast until finished. You should have a crispy, golden brown turkey with very, very tender, buttery meat.
• Render bacon. Reserve fat.
• Add garlic and onion to bacon fat and saute. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Sauté onions until translucent.
• Add stock. Reduce slightly. Add bread cubes. Salt and pepper to taste.
• Add grated carrot. Gently mix.
• Crush bacon and add to mixture.
• Add walnuts to mixture. Let mixture cool.
• Mix in the eggs until they are well incorporated.
• Place in heatproof pan (or turkey cavity) and cook at 375°F until crisp on top.
• Garnish with dried raisins or cranberries.
