Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Once melted, add the chicken stock and stir until combined.
Mix in the garlic powder, onion powder, Cajun seasoning, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper, stirring constantly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Add the hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for approximately 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the injection sauce cool slightly, but not completely. It should be warm for easier injection.
Strain the sauce through a fine mesh sieve to remove any solids that could clog the injection needle.
Use the sauce immediately with a marinade injector to infuse your turkey with rich Cajun flavor before frying.
