John Henry’s Pecan Marinade & Injection Frequently Asked Questions

What is John Henry’s Pecan Marinade & Injection?

The product comes in a 12 oz bottle. Its ingredients are water, vinegar, spices, and butter flavoring.

Which meats or cooking methods work best with it?

It’s ideal for pork (especially pork shoulder or loins), poultry, and wild game. Use it to inject before smoking or roasting, or as a mop/baste during cooking to boost moisture and flavor.

When and how do I apply it during cooking?

For injections: use a meat injector and inject into the thicker parts of the meat (breasts, thighs, shoulders). For marinating or basting: apply it before grilling or smoking and repeat in the last 30–60 minutes of cooking if needed. This helps maintain moisture and builds flavor.

Are there allergens or dietary notes?

It uses “butter flavoring” in its formulation, which might indicate dairy derivatives depending on the flavoring source. Always check the label for allergen warnings.

How should I store it and how long is it good for?

Store in a cool, dry place before opening. After opening, refrigerate and use it within a reasonable timeframe (as per the label) to preserve flavor and prevent spoilage.
