Standby for 4,000 opinions.
Definitely inject. I do it at least 24 hours in advance.
Rub generously. I used Tony C's MORE SPICE, not the regular. Too salty.

Opinion 1 of 4,000 -
I don't mean to pick on OP, but I cringe a litte when someone uses the term "Cajun Microwave".
As fierce as some can be about protecting "true" Cajun food and how it's made, they shouldn't be taking a China Box (la caja China), which was developed in Cuba in the 1800's by either Chinese immigrants or Cubans, as their own. (Cubans argue that the china box, actually came from the word chino, which was used, slang-like, to describe something clever, mysterious, or exotic. Thus, “la caja China” actually translates to something like “the magic box”.
It only began to be called a Cajun Microwave by some in the 1980s. For people who know, when you use the term, it only makes you look somewhat foolish.
I'm old and cranky and this is my opinion. I don't expect anyone to change their behavior, but everyone should be informed.
