bountyhunter Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 It is to die for..... white meat so tender and juicy it falls apart as you cut it. I used the peanut oil kettle cooker (fired by propane tank) and cooked a 17 pound cheapo Safeway discount turkey. Got a jar of "chicken spice rub" and it dissolves into the oil and saturates all of the meat, flavoring it with what is very much like the KFC taste. So, there I was cutting a 17 pound turkey and more was going into my mouth than onto the serving platter. This is the first time I have seen turkey meat so juicy and flavorful I refused to let gravy near it...... it was too perfect standing alone. It's so cruel that fried food is so bad (and so fattening) because it is a slice of heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMH Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Try a few small chickens that way. Down in La we do it all the time. Sprinkle the inside and out with Tony Chacherie's and maybe some injected marinades. You'll love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Keen Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Thats how I like my steak (not the peanut oil) NO STEAK SAUCE! If you need to add sauce or gravy to make something palatable, then you didn't cook it right! I like my steak to taste like steak, and my turkey to taste like turkey, but you could deep fry a #2 pencil and it would taste great ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ima45dv8 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 One of my brothers got a new deep fryer for Christmas last year and still had not opened the box when I arrived on Wednesday. His wife sort of pushed the issue by going ahead and thawing a turkey for us to fry. We did some injecting with a Cajun-Garlic mix, and rubbed the outside with some good spices. After working on the burner a bit we got the oil up to temp and dropped it in. Oh Lord, the smell was unbelievable! 45 minutes later we pulled out the best tasting turkey I have ever had. The one she roasted was great, but that deep-fried bird was hands-down the Winner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lynn jones Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 45 minutes, huh ? Sounds easy. yes, depending on the weight of the turkey. boiling oil should always be done out side! some of the best turkey cooked is deep fried! lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ima45dv8 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 45 minutes, huh ? Sounds easy. Yes, 3 minutes per pound, plus 5 minutes. In this case (a 13-lb'er), it was 41 minutes. Good, and simple! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds easy. yes, depending on the weight of the turkey. boiling oil should always be done out side! some of the best turkey cooked is deep fried! lynn The 3 min per pound rule is a guide. You should also watch the meat on the legs as the turkey gets close to being done the meat will start to shrink and pull away from the bone. Also the skin will tell as it starts to brown. Nothing finer than a fried bird. Jim Norman-Florida Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSeevers Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 OK saying how much Turkey or Twinkies taste better deep fried is like saying Angelina Jolie looks better in lingerie. #2 pencils remain to be proven but I am guessing yes they do taste better. Everything does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooterj Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I like to fry turkeys for 3.5 min per pound. If you ever bite into a piece of "not cooked" turkey, you'll know why!!! Be careful if you use natural gas and not propane, natural gas doen't burn as hot as propane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
