Desire To Fry A Turkey, Fear Of Burning Down Apartment (Post #2: Monday)
I hear from my friend Justin, with whom I brewed beer with this Sunday, that you can get yourself a propane burner for $40 at the local Target, on sale for a limited time only. This is what I am talking about LINK, at a bit less of a bargain.
For those who are in the know, this is the best way to cook a turkey: the deep fat fry. The oil actually does not go into the turkey, rather it seals in all the juicy goodness in a crisp shell, leaving you with the juiciest chicken you have ever eaten. YUM. It just does not get better, unless you decide to stuff the turkey with a duck and the duck with a chicken. YUMMIER.
There is a problem though. I have the logistical difficulty of living in the fourth floor of an apartment building. While this gives me a great view of the Empire State Building, my accommodations are not the most suitable for boiling oil at some ungodly hot temperature. Plus I doubt that my 'Sup would be too happy to see an canola fireball erupting from the bottom of the stoop. Nor would it be a good idea to have the fry on the tar covered roof...
Fortunately, Eric's mom is making the turkey this year.
