It's ONLY peanut oil. If you have a Sam's, Costco, Wal-Mart, etc... near you, you can get large containers of it. Grocery stores tend to have only the smaller bottles. You'll probably need around 5 gallons or so depending on the size of your cajun cooker and the bird.
Your test run on a smalll chicken should be great. If you ever make chicken fried steak, catfish, or fried chicken, peanut oil gives you a really nice flavor.
Don't be afraid to fry ya up some shrimp or something for appetizers while the oils hot. Peanut oil is AWSOME for most of your frying needs. Good Luck!
Peanut oil is also a must for making popcorn on the stove.
Thanks for the encouragement, and the words of advice....gonna try all your suggestions this weekend..but ione question..doesn't peanut oil color the flavor of the shrimp?..i'd tend to prefer olive oil for that reason..shrimp only take a few seconds, anyways..
