I've fried dozens all delicious. Get a pot with a grid at the bottom, it drains the oil better. Bayou Classic or Cajun Cooker are two brands I know of.

Use peanut oil to fry the bird. Most Walmarts carry large containers of peanut oil. If someone is allergic to peanuts you can use canola oil but it's pricier.

Use a turkey of 15 lb or less injected with Cajun Injector marinade into the breast and thighs. Use up to 1 jar of marinade per bird. Fry at 375 for 3 minutes per pound.

Safety first. Work outdoors. Wear long pants, long sleeves, leather gloves and eye protection. Hot oil splashed on you is very painful.

Feel free to FReepmail me for questions.

Been there, done that. Remember those popcorn poppers with the Teflon-surface and the little circle in the bottom where you were supposed to put the oil and the popcorn seed in the bottom, with the plastic lid for flipping over and using as a bowl when the popcorn popped?

The first time I ever used one, I put too much oil in it and didn't flip it fast enough. Burnt my little piano-playing hands, I did and slept that night with my hands in cold water (we had no money to run to the hospital emergency room back then). 'Twas NOT fun at all.
