Hey everyone, I know this is a BBQ forum, not deep fryers, but I didn't know where else to look. Besides, I know that many of you, like Walkingdude, run deep fry cookers. My question, yesterday I did a 19# turkey @ 325 for 66 minutes, according to my directions it should have been done to perfection. I seperated the skin from the meat and smeared Jeff's rum inside the skin and outside too, I injected it and let it sit in the ice box 6 hrs. I then fried it for 66 minutes, it came out blacker than the inside of a cow.
Thats ok, it still tasted good, I assume the brown sugar in the rub was my downfall, I normally use Montreal(sp) chicken seasoning on it, but I was out. The worst part is, the bird was WAY overdone.
I don't know where I screwed up. My question to you is, can I use my Taylor therometer with the long wired probe in the thigh? Or will the hot oil ruin the cable? Terry
