Fried chicken question?

[RockShawn]

Ok, I can't seem to grill, pan fry or bake a chicken breast to save my life. What would be the problem with deep frying the breasts in like peanut oil? Like a deep fried turkey. Would that method somehow mess up the macros of the chicken. Not breaded, just cooked in oil.

why not buy precooked rotisserie ?

Usually cheaper!

Warning accepted. I can grill beef all day long, my chicken sucks though.

So you don't see anything wrong with the oil?

foreman grill..

Even you cant fuk it up.

Here i can but a big ass rotisserie for like $5-$6 or cheaper if on sale.
@ big breasts, then you got the dark meat cooked healthy @ least you can incorporate into soups etc.

You are wrong about the Forman grill. Trust me. I just way overcook it.

True. I could eat dark meat too I guess. Those damn rotisserie chickens in the market smell so good.

Dude, buy a meat thermometer and cook that bad boy til its 160 internal temp. Turn occasionally so you don't burn the meat and pull when its temp is right. Go spend the 5$ and come back and thank me for the tip! I'm a grilling machine and cook almost everything outside. Even in a snow storm!

Lol. I use a meat thermo. I got the big bad boy with digital readout. I'm gonna give it one more shot tomorrow.

The key is 160 degree and don't walk off and leave it. That bird gotta be pampered if you want it to turn out right. Kinda like a woman ya know!?

I use to deep fry turkey all the time, years back, you said that you are wanting to do chicken breast. The skin is important when frying it like a turkey, the skin keeps it moist and from drying out as bad,and if you buy cut breast skin will only be on one side. In my opinion you would do better off buying whole chickens for this. #1 PEANUT OIL is the best for this, you need enough oil that will cover the complete chicken when you lower it in, BUT YOU POT NEEDS TO BE LARGE ENOUGH THAT THE OIL ONLY FILLS IT ABOUT 1/2 FULL, this is because when you lower the chicken in the oil IT WILL BUBBLE UP AND OVER FLOW if your pots not big enough. First you need to heat and keep your oil about 350 at all time, heat the oil to 350 lower the chicken SLOWLY you oil will bubble and rise, if it start to rise to much raise the chicken back up, this is because of the juices in the chicken, if the oil is hot enough and as you lower the chicken it seals the chicken and and keeps it moist inside of it. I don't remember the time it is (I THINK 7-9 MIN. PER POUND) goggle deep fry whole chicken, thickest part of thigh should register at lease 165°F,or you can watch it pull it out at lowest min per pound, lay it down and cut it at a leg/thigh joint if you see blood in the cut joint it not ready put it back in awhile longer than check it at the other leg/ thigh joint until no blood.

You can inject your chicken with a (meat injector) or any rub the longer you let the season stay on or inside the chicken before cooking the better, you can do this with anything you make up or buy.Or you can just fry it like it is.

(batter fry chicken)
IF you decide to batter and fry just chicken pieces try dipping it in some (mixed pancake batter), salt and pepper, than put it in a bag with some flour shake lightly, pull it out and fry it. amazing

My wife cant cook chicken on the grill either. Its either dry as cardboard or raw in middle. Breasts take about 12 min to cook. figure abour 6 min per side. they tend to get firmm when done. Cut in middle to see if done. If they look clear they are still a bit raw. Also remember they are like steak they will continue to cook when you take them off the grill . Juicy chicken isnt raw chicken.

Awesome info guys. Thanks a ton. RS i didn't think about the skin being important. I was thinking cutting it into bits and throw into a fry daddy for a minute or so.

I'm gonna try grilling tonight with all the great info y'all gave me. I don't have a fryer yet so that experiment will have to wait. I like the pancake batter idea a lot.
