Injection marinade for chicken

[gmac]

Doing a deep fried whole chicken tomorrow. About 8.5 lbs and I'm thinking of trying to inject some more flavour into the bird.
Anyone have a good injection marinade recipes?

Wow...seriously?  No replies?  I thought American's either smoked or deep fried all their meals.

I skipped the injection and just deep fried the bird.  Very good but I think a shot of flavour into the meat would have made it awesome.

Sorry man, I don't inject and/or deep fry things.  Smoked a bunch of wings, a chicken, and some hatch chile ABTs today though.  Fantastic.

Sorry man, I wanted to reply but have little experience with this. Have fried whole turkeys this way but injected clarified butter IIRC.

For the chickens a brine would have been appropriate but if you want to inject I would think something based in citrus (orange juice) or soy sauce.

No problem guys.  I figured if someone had an idea they'd have said so.  Next time I'll try a brine or just whip up something.  I had this crazy idea of doing a reverse buffalo wing.  Butter and hot sauce injected all through the meat and then into the fryer.  I don't have any pre-made marinades, just access to veterinary syringes and love of fried foods.

I inject our chicken with Soy Sauce regularly with results we love. 
But it mostly gets baked or grilled....not fried.

I deep fried two that I injected with 50/50 beer and butter. Yes.....it was epic!

 I also use a creamy italian dressing/butter mix.

Chef M to the rescue:

Fried Turkey marinade

I inject fried turkeys with this marinade, and use it to marinade/baste whole pork sirloins for the grill too.  Don't see why it won't work on chicken.

I've tried it with and without the Zatarain's crab boil.  I like it way better with it in.  I like spicy.

Want more flavor look for old laying chickens (old=18 months) the cook them up. I would inject supermarket chickens with tumeric,cumin,garlic,onion,mexican oregano, salt, pepper,paprika (smoked)and cayanne pepper.
