Yes, heat the unit first and take it as far as it will go... probably 275*F .

Make it easy on yourself , a bird bought at the Grocer is already 'brined' , so to speak , and IMHO , I

wouldn't inject , just leaves holes for the juice to escape.

Use a good Probe Thermometer and place it deep in the Breast , away from any bone, and watch the

temp. until it gets to 165*F internal temp. in the Legs and thighs will be about 170*F and you'll still

have a juice Bird...

I believe you'll do good , guy , did I miss something

Have a happy Holiday and as always . . .
