    I love how honest Malcom always is. Showing the cooking spray, or even when he uses his rubs, he always says “but you can use whatever you like.” Learned so much from him over the years. ❤

    To get extra crispy skin, do what they do to peeking duck.
    Drizzle several gallons of boiling water all over the skin (before injecting and rub).
    It shrinks it up and begins to break down the fat and collagen in the skin.
    Super crispy!

    Yeah Buddy, Malcom gives great advice, use it and add your own flair. That's what I'm talking about!! I am an old school BBQ maker, I stick burn plus use apples inside the bird. I use Apple Wood and Pecan Wood. I also use Rivulet Artisan Pecan Liqueur in the brine. Use my mixture for injection. When dinner bell rings Better get it fast because the bird doesn't last to long.

    for those that havent injected before here are my tips
    - just do it, over time you will get better
    - dont wory about being perfect, it is very difficult to do perfectly
    - more is almost always better, pump it up till it is leaking everywhere and looks much bigger than its original size
    - put in the tip within about 1 inch from punching through to the other side and put in 1/4 of the injector liquid
    pull the needle back about 1/2 but not all the way out and punch in about 1/2 inch to the right or left and put in about 1/4 of the injection and keep working around
    - if you put in too much the bubble may burst and some will spill out, dont worry about that but try to avoid over filling in one spot, over time you will be able to tell your starting to over fill by the way it feels and the bulge shape you see

    A technique I learned from Jacques Pépin is to remove the wishbone before cooking a whole turkey or chicken. It makes slicing the meat from the breastbone easier. As always, huge fun to watch Malcom's presentations. How nice it would be to live next door.

    I had always thought that putting stuffing in the turkey before cooking was a bad idea. For me, it's just like what you guys did--regardless of how I'm cooking it (besides frying the turkey) I always put in a mix of carrots, onions, and celery. Then, when my turkey was done, I'd put all those veggies in a large pot, along with the turkey carcass, and make a good stock with it.

    What do you think about soaking it in clean water after the brine to back down some of that salt. I like to collect the drippings for gravy and they it be salty otherwise. I do this with pastrami after the brine too.
    Kamado style pit is perfect for turkey. Clean, moist, efficient.
