Easy Poultry Basting Sauce

Whether you’re cooking a whole chicken or turkey on a grill or rotisserie, they will benefit from this easy poultry basting sauce. Basting keeps the meat moist and juicy as it cooks and provides additional flavor. For our BBQ enthusiasts, this is the same principle as a BBQ spritz or brisket mop but specifically made for poultry.

Why you should use a poultry baste

When baking, grilling, or smoking chicken or turkey, it’s important to prevent the breast meat and thighs from drying out. This poultry basting sauce is tailored specifically for this reason. In addition to adding moisture and juiciness, it also encourages the skin to turn a delicious golden brown color and adds a layer of buttery flavor.

Ingredients

Making and Using a Poultry Basting Sauce:

  • Stir the melted butter with wine, garlic, all-purpose poultry rub, Worcestershire sauce, and onion powder in a small bowl. Taste and adjust to your liking. Use right away
  • If cooking a large bird like a turkey, double the recipe.
  • Start basting bird with basting liquid halfway through cooking time. Do this every 10-15 minutes with chicken and every 30-40 minutes with turkey.
  • Stop basting 10 minutes before the bird is done.
  • Keep it safe, and discard remaining baste. Chances are that you won’t have much left anyway!

Substitutions:
