Heath Riles Chicken Injection & Brine is the secret to incredibly juicy, flavorful poultry that stays moist from edge to edge. Whether you're cooking whole chickens, thighs, wings, or competition-grade chicken breasts, this pre-made mix enhances tenderness, boosts moisture retention, and infuses every bite with rich savory flavor.
Designed for serious pitmasters and backyard grillers alike, this injection can be used two ways: inject directly into the meat or mix into a brine for full coverage. No matter how you use it, the result is the same—consistent, juicy, flavor-packed chicken every time.
Why You'll Love Heath Riles Chicken Injection & Brine- Dual-Use Formula: Inject or brine to achieve incredible moisture retention.
- Perfect Poultry Flavor: Balanced spices, butter notes, garlic, onion, and chicken broth powder.
- Competition-Ready Tenderness: Helps keep lean chicken cuts juicy during high-heat or long cooks.
- Easy to Mix: Blends smoothly with water, broth, or your preferred liquid.
- Whole chickens and spatchcocked birds
- Chicken breasts
- Thighs and drumsticks

- Grilled, smoked, or roasted poultry
- Mix the powder with water, chicken broth, or your preferred liquid.
- Stir or shake until the mixture is fully dissolved.
- Inject evenly throughout the meat OR submerge the chicken in the mixture as a brine.
- Allow time for absorption—at least 30 minutes for injection, 2–4 hours for brining.
- Season the outside with your favorite BBQ rub before cooking.
- Use broth instead of water for deeper poultry flavor.
- Inject breasts and thighs evenly for consistent moisture.
- For competition-quality chicken, inject and brine for maximum tenderness.
- Pat the chicken dry before seasoning to ensure beautiful color and texture on the skin.
Should I inject or brine with this mix?
Both methods work beautifully. Injecting is best for speed and direct flavor penetration, while brining provides even coverage and deep moisture retention.
Can I use this on turkey?
Yes! It works exceptionally well for turkey breasts and whole birds, especially when smoking or roasting.
How far in advance should I inject or brine?
Inject 30–60 minutes before cooking or brine for 2–4 hours. For large birds, brine up to 12 hours for best results.
Does this seasoning make the chicken taste salty?
No. When used as directed, it balances moisture, savory depth, and natural poultry flavor without oversalting.
What liquids can I mix it with?
Water works well, but chicken broth or stock creates a richer, fuller flavor.

With over 35 years of smoking experience, we started DDR BBQ Supply with a simple goal: to help others cook better barbecue. We've spent decades learning what works and what doesn't, and we apply that knowledge to every product we carry. From high-performance grills and smokers to carefully selected rubs, sauces, and tools, everything we offer is something we believe in and use ourselves. We don’t believe in cutting corners or selling gear we wouldn’t rely on during our own backyard cooks and when we compete in BBQ competitions.
