1. A method for internally introducing an additive material into at least one of the interconnected thigh and leg portions of a poultry carcass, said method comprising: severing the feet from the poultry leg portions of a poultry carcass and pulling a number of tendons from said leg portions; engaging and fully extending a leg of said carcass before the attainment of rigor mortis, said leg being extended so as to substantially align the femur and fibular bones at a minimum angle to the back of the carcass; inserting a single long multiple orifice needle into an empty tendon sheath from which a tendon has been pulled and advancing said needle through said sheath and beneath the poultry skin substantially parallel to said fibula and through the flesh of said leg, across the joint between said fibula and femur and substantially through the length of the flesh portion of said thigh and substantially parallel to said femur without penetrating the skin of said thigh and leg portions; and introducing an additive under pressure through said needle orifices into the flesh of at least one of said interconnected thigh and leg portions.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the additive is introduced simultaneously through all of said orifices in lateral directions into the flesh of both the leg and thigh portions.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the needle is inserted through the leg along the outer side thereof away from the body of said carcass and also inserted through the outer side of said thigh.
