  • If you’ve ever wondered how to deep fry a turkey without setting your house on fire, you are in luck! On today’s video, we’re heating up the deep fryer and frying up a turkey that will blow your mind. The secret to fried turkey is making sure that you thaw your bird well in advance because any ice left on the bird will have you starring in one of those fried turkey fails video mashups. After our bird is completely thawed, we’re mixing up our best-selling Turkey Brine to pack in the moisture. No one likes dry turkey and when you’re frying one, brining your bird is a crucial part of the prep process. After your turkey soaks for at least 12 hours, gently pat it dry, but don’t rinse off the brine! Once it’s dry, we’ll use Dirty Bird rub, making sure to get in all the nooks and crannies so we can pack in-freakin’-credible flavor into this turkey. Meanwhile, heat the oil in your deep fryer 350°F and allow your turkey a few minutes to sweat and soak in the rub. Once your oil is ready, it’s time to place turkey in fryer basket and lower it in. The turkey will need to fry for 3 to 5 minutes per pound OR until internal temperature is 165°F. This is where your meat thermometer will be crucial because you don’t want to over-fry your turkey, but you want it to be done. Once the bird reaches temperature, remove it from the oil, then let it rest for about 10 minutes. For the perfect finishing touch, we’re pouring BBQ Glaze all over this bird, spreading it all over the turkey, and then digging in!

    If it's truly your first time.... you should put it in water in the pot to measure how much oil you would need. Mark the place where the water is at and thats the height of the oil too

      At least they thought to turn off the flame so if the oil did overflow it wouldn't ignite. Granted hot oil flowing around the patio is not a great situation either but better than it being on fire.

    • @idowrk8682

      Terrible idea. Oil levels raise when hot water doesn’t do that. Also only cover it with oil til right under the butt. The legs skin/meat will shrink anyways. I almost never submerge a bird. I cook 20 plus lb birds for the main meal and usually like 3-4 for friends/fam.

We have some excellent products to offer anyone which is why I offered to partner with Kosmo. Yes sir I definitely understand everyone loves their own flavor and I perfected the Cajun Flavor mild and spicy, plus I perfected the Garlic Butter Flavor, those flavors everyone at your dinner table would love, I could create other flavors but why, not many would sell, but if you want the famous Cajun Fried Turkey, I can do that even better than Popeyes.

    Good job Kosmo. Fried probably a hundred of 'em. Couple things...I've never ever heard of anyone having to shank the turkey. I fry legs down because the dark meat needs a higher finishing temp and I fry no higher than 325 but truthfully probably average around 310-315 degrees. 5-5 1/2 minutes a pound. Turkey will be as golden as a Norman Rockwell Thanksgiving painting. Inject it. Tony's Creole Butter is very popular.
    But in the words of Kosmo...that's what I do, but you do you. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

    Masterbuilt electric fryer all day!! Gotta treat the bird the same as dunking in hot oil..but i was very impressed..i bought mine when they first came out..i did a 20lb turkey like it says they can hold to the max..never looked backed!!! You dont have to guess how much oil to use tells you in the instructions plus its marked inside the fryer..if it was to over flow you dont have a flame that'll ignite it more..got a set timer for how many pounds ur frying, how long, and temp to cook. So with that being said got my kosmos turkey brine and rub ready to go! Great video bird looks nice and juicy brother!

    Pro tip from someone that cooks multiple a year for a lot of years. 2.5 per lb and leave it in a cooler for another 2 hours and I swear it’s butter (depending on the size 18 or bigger I go 3 minutes per lb). Also pull away the skin for the breast a little bit not all the way and butter under it (obviously inject it too) stay away from sugar seasoning. The skin will be crispy enough cause of the oil.

    • @idowrk8682
      @idowrk8682 Před 5 měsíci

      Also don’t waste the oil throw some portobello mushrooms, some okra, pretzels, twinkies, battered butter sticks, pancake battered Oreos… etc while you’re frying. (I’m southern btw)
