this has been worked out , more or less
the skin is a protective , well , skin
its semi-impermeable
you can put anything under the skin , and it will flavor the meat much more
than on the skin only
make sure you put a little on the skin or the skin won't taste as good.
" lemon chicken "" ---- with lemon slices and a flavorful paste w lemon and why not
under the skin is a revelation vs the same just on the skin.
you just use your fingers to " bluntly " dissect the skin off the meat , keeping it whole
then add the flavoring to the meat under the skin
all over , including the thighs and legs
there has to be a video these days on doing this
its really simple
once you see it done.
try here : google this :
flavoring under the chicken skin on a whole chicken
remember to wash your hands !
