I'm going to try and do a fry bird this year too.....I've had em before but never made one myself......this thread is making me sooooo hungry now
 
i used to fry chips and chicken when i had a fryer....i also did ice cream, find the recipe on line, it was great....
 
A few tricks I learned.

Put a rubber mat under the fryer 3'X3' should work. It took me 20 minutes to scrub down the back porch.

I got a cheap cooker. 39.00 at OSH. If your going to use it more then just once a year get a better one. The pot is thin, it doesn't have a faucet at the bottom to drain it, and its used 1/2 a bottle (Big One) of LP.

I do have another Q,
After I washed it down with lots of soap and watter and let it dry, its sticky as hell. What can I use to get the oil residue off the outside of the aluminum tub? Its nasty as hell. Soap just doesn't do it. On the bottom where some oil ran down the side of the tub and got heated up it was like glue. I ended up using 300 grit wet sand paper lubed up with Dawn to get it off. I don't want to sand the entire pot.
 
Eddy get a product called" awsome "
You can find it in just about any dollar store..

If not go to cosco and get crud cutter that will do the trick..
 
Eddy, try a scotchbrite pad. One thing to do is take you sink and fill it with HOT soapy water (dawn detergent) and then take paper towels and put them in the water and then ring em out a little so water isn't running everywhere and lay them on the sticky spots and let them sit for a few minutes and then work em with the scotchbrite pad. Defintely use the water techinique before your next bird to determine oil level. I've never had the pot overflow doing that. And yeah, it takes forever to let the oil cool down enough.

Zandor, those sound like some good NAKID Wings, have to try it out.
 
Keep in mind...If your using peanut oil MAKE SURE NOBODY EATING IS ALLERGIC TO PEANUTS! it could make for a long holiday for sure.

That is some of the best desert I ever had. It is only dipped into the hot oil for a few seconds to crisp up the flakes on the outside. Trick is to have it frozen solid so that when dipped, it won't fall apart. MMMMMMMMM, you don't know what you're missing.
 
I've had it where they use fine crushed flakes instead of just lettign a few corn flakes stick to it...they actually scoop the ice cream in a ball freeze them and then roll it in the corn flakes and cinamon stuff...then drop the whole thing into the fryer for about 3-5 seconds and take it out.....oh my god it's awsome.....I want to try the tempura ice cream too.....not really the same style but it's fried too....
 
Looks like ill have to fry up some Jalipino poppers as well.
The only down side it the cleanup time. It took close to 45 minutes to clean up. I guess when you measure the cleanup time against the standard roasting time and the quality of the bird its well worth it.

I have an industrial smoker that I used a few years back to do a turkey. Its a close toss up as to the one I like better. The fried one is more of a traditional flavor as to the smoked one being unique.

If anyone is into smoking and doesn't want to sacrifice a refrigerator to make one here is the one I got.

I also have the clod smoke kit so I can make Lox and do smoked cheese.

Eddy,

You'll love the turkey when it's finished. I've never been a big turkey fan myself however about 2-3 years ago my parents bought themselves a turkey fryer and every year now I've been eating up that turkey. It's so much more juicer and I think has a much better taste to it as well.

As for getting the oil out, we just wait until everyone's done eating which usually gives the oil plenty of time to cool then just pour it back into the same container. If you don't have someone around that could help you pour it you might want to think about getting a large funnel to make it easier on yourself.

This is the absolute truth. I've never been a huge turkey fan either until I had my first deep fried turkey. What a difference. The only downfall to deep fried turkey is no stuffing. I also couldn't believe how fast you could cook a turkey using the deep fry method.
 
Eddy, I got my whole frying rig from Bass Pro Shops. I added a spigot after the first year and it really helps for the clean up. I only use peanut oil. I have done trukeys, of all sizes, cornish hens, dorado, yellow fin tuna, hush puppies, striper, sand dabs, crab, shrimp, chicken, jalapenos, and a few other things I cannot remember right now.

Get yourself a decent filter system. Peanut oil can get expensive.

We even fry fish and a small turkey at 4th of July block parties, and turkey in mid January out inthe high desert.

As to that sticky stuff, I just leave what doesn't come off with normal cleaning. I'm not too worried. I used to wash the huge cooking pots at a restaurant as my first job and it was never an issue with the health department if the residue was their. They did not consider it a "food residue" so it was not a health issue.
