We eat a lot of chicken and sometimes there isnt much flavor to it so I bought a flavor injector. I'd really like some ideas on what to inject in my chicken (I'm not much of a cook). Also, what else can I use the injector for?

Use wine, broth, vinegar or fruit juice mixed with olive or vegetable oil for the base. Season with ground dried herbs, finely ground fresh pepper and salt. Do not use fresh or leafy dry herbs, they will plug up your injector.
You can also buy "Injectable" marinades many places where they sell BBQ equipment and supplies.
You can also use the injector for beef, lamb or pork roasts (especially pot roasts), turkey breasts or whole turkeys, and chuck steak, to name a few.

There are different kinds. I normally see them used on turkeys and roasts. Some have big nozzles and you can inject whole garlic and herbs. Rosemary, basil, bacon and many other flavors can be injected. Bacon and sausage provide fat to dry meats and marinate from within adding flavor and moisture.
If you like chicken, you can hammer breasts flat with a meat tenderizing hammer, a cast iron skillet or something similar. Flattened chicken breasts expand to twice their size and you can roll nice herbs, cheeses, sun dried tomatos and other goodies in them. Enjoy!

I would buy store marinades and use those.
