What can you baste chicken with?
Online Answer
Basting is used when roasting or grilling meats. The cooking juices in the pan, melted butter, a marinade, or other sauces are either brushed on the meat, or sucked from the pan into the turkey baster and squeezed out over the meat.

Do Not Baste. Basting the skin is not necessary to flavor the meat. You'll flavor the skin, but you'll also let heat out of the oven each time you open it to baste. "That means the bird is going to be in there for a longer time cooking, which means it's going to dry out more," Brown says.

TAKEAWAY. Basting not only makes a negligible difference in moisture loss but also prolongs the cooking time and requires more hands-on work. For a really juicy turkey, we prefer a more hands-off approach such as brining or salting, which not only helps turkey retain moisture but also seasons the bird..
