Chicken injection

Going to spatch a Chicken tonight and use an injection. I have never done an injection before and not really sure how to do it. Do I just go under the skin or right into the breast? Is there an area on the chicken that I should put more injection into or evenly throughout legs and breasts?

    I never injected a chicken, never saw the need, so I can't help you.

    Go into the meat. When you pierce the meat inject the liquid when pulling the needle out. Stop short of pulling out completely and inject in a different direction which minimizes the holes. Even better is tightly wrap it in saran wrap and then inject....helps hold the marinade in.

    Personally a 3 or 4 hour brine would give you better results by being more uniform throughout the yard bird and certainly less effort and less clean up.

    Exactly, I would brine poultry before injecting but to each his own.
