Can I fry chicken in my deep fryer? I wanted to try a recipe for fried chicken, but I don't have a skillet?
deep enough. My husband said you can't do it, but I don't understand why not. Other question is at what temp, and how long. We usually only do legs, because that's all my kids and husband will eat.
Yes, that's what deep fryer for. But it takes a lot of oil. Heat the oil to 350 to 375 degree F, before adding chicken pieces. Do it in small batches at a time so that the oil temp don't drop too much. Keep temp at 350 deg and cook for 15 - 20 min until inside temp reaches 180 deg for dark meat or 160 deg for white meat. If you don't have a thermometer, stick a skewer into it and if no red juice comes out, then it is cooked.
