Oil less turkey fryer

[alexs2006]

Who’s got one and what do you think? I bought one last week to try this year rather than dealing with the hot oil mess. I seasoned mine a total of 3 times now to get the basic operation down. Gonna try to cook a whole chicken one day this week before Wednesday. I’ve gotta cook 3 birds this year. 1 bird Wednesday , 1 bird Thursday and 1 again on Friday.

If not, they will be wanting your bird , as long as it turns out alright that is !! lol

Just messin’ with ya !
Seriously….good luck and I want to know how they turn out !!

they work, I've done it a few times. Just make sure you have extra propane handy, make sure it doesn't run out mid cook, and the less wind you expose it to the better it holds temp.

I usually deep fry turkeys but man oil has gotten expensive. By time I bought enough oil to cook the three birds in it was cheaper to buy the big easy charbroil.

I’ve run it 3 heat cycles and seasoned the inside 3 times. I’m gonna heat a whole chicken and cook tomorrow night as a test run

Any other tips?

I wasnt impressed with the few birds I've had out of those. BUT it could have been the person that cooked them. They were done but not really that good when compared to traditional deep fried birds. I'm frying 3 this year. I just filter and reuse my peanut oil over and over throughout the year. And we always throw in 2 or 3 chickens and sometimes a pack of seasoned pork chops after we pull the Turkey and fry them up while we wait on it to cool some.

I've used one several times to good effect. Use a good brine of course. I make my own butter melt to inject. Then just pin it up as directed, follow the manual's instructions and let'er rip.

I plan to inject each bird a day ahead of time to let it all soak in. Rub the outside with dukes mayo and put a non sugar rub on the outside.

My experience with mayo on whole chickens in the smoker gives an excellent crispy skin!

Wow!
I just do the traditional smoker thing. It takes some time but they always come out so tender and GOOD !! 😊

Skip the mayo, allow the bird to sit unwrapped and uncovered in the fridge 12+ hours. If not deep frying, That's the key to crispy poultry skin every time, no matter what.
