Is there any way to season Chicken meat beyond the skin?

I was watching this Tasty clip:




She mentions you shouldn't use oil in marinades. Y'all agree with this? Oil is always an ingredient when you buy a packet of marinade mix from the store.

My aunt used to inject it with cajun butter

She did the same with the Turkey when we deep fry it

So season it then put it in a marinade (store bought bottle or homemade) or marinade then season

I like chicken dishes that have a gravy, that way you get flavor with every bite.

It is insane that such a random question would be something I had been contemplating the past week.

I bought an 8 piece from Hardees/Carl's Jr., and it was seasoned all the way through. The best chicken I've eaten in YEEEARS.

Where you live at where Hardee’s still sells fried chicken?

They stopped selling it around here years ago.

If you're preparing a whole bird roast you can create a gap between the muscle and skin with your fingers. Prepare a garlic lemon herb butter paste and place directly under the skin. Add thyme...lots of it. Coat exterior with butter again and roast.

Or brine overnight .... in kosher salt water.

Or buttermilk/thyme/smoked paprika powder mix.

Or salt coat....let sit over night....brush off and add everything but salt...then bake/roast.

While we on the subject. Recommend a brotha some coatings for that crispy skin

Mix your buttermilk with an egg and about 1/4-1/3 of your brine. Submerge your chicken in it and refrigerate for 2-4 hours (this is after you brine the chicken overnight).

Take the chicken out of the buttermilk, toss it in your flour mixture until thoroughly coated, drop it back in the buttermilk, coat it in another layer of flower and let sit for 15 minutes before dropping in oil.

marinade is a surface level treatment; it’s not going to sink into the meat, so whether or not you use oil doesn’t really matter (although I never do). But if you’re trying to brine the meat so the seasoning is absorbed, you want to use ingredients that dissolve and are easily absorbed: salts, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, etc.

Oil won’t be absorbed, so I don’t include it. And if you use too much oil/butter in your mixture, it will coagulate when you put it back in the fridge and prevent the meat from absorbing whatever coagulates with it.

What is that and what is the benefits?
