Frying Tips

SELECTING AND CHANGING THE FRYING OIL:

• Use a good quality vegetable or peanut oil.
• Frying foods in butter, margarine, olive oil, or animal fat is NOT recommended because of low temperature smoke point.
  DO NOT mix two types of oil.
• Change oil regularly to maintain optimum frying and flavor quality.
• Oil used for french fries can be used 10 to 12 times before changing if oil is filtered after each use. Oil used for food that is high in protein (such as meat or fish) should be changed more frequently.
• To filter oil, allow oil to cool completely. Cheesecloth or paper towel may be used as a filter to strain oil.
  Always follow food package directions.
  DO NOT add fresh oil to used oil.
  Always change the oil when it has a strong smell or taste, or when it turns dark and/or syrupy.

BEFORE FRYING:

• Remove any excess water from fresh food by blotting with a paper towel. Excess water or ice particles can cause hot oil to splatter or foam.

GENERAL TIPS:

DO NOT use plastic utensils in hot oil.
- Season food AFTER frying.
If food is not as crisp as desired, reduce batch size.

DISPOSING OF OIL:

• Pour cool oil into its original (resealable) empty plastic bottle.

BASKET USAGE WITH FRESHLY BATTERED FOODS:

• Freshly battered foods should be carefully placed directly into oil. First, lower basket completely and then carefully place each piece of battered food into hot oil. Use basket to remove fried battered foods.

STORAGE:

• Basket handle can be disengaged and rotated into basket. Place oil pot in base and then place basket and power cord in oil pot.
• It is best to store all oils in the refrigerator or a cool, dark, dry place for up to six months.

COOKING:

Length of cooking time and temperature may vary based on batch size and weight.
- For best results, fry a single layer of food for each batch.
- Frozen, uncooked chicken should be thawed, excess water removed, and patted dry with paper towel prior to cooking.
- Always follow package directions.
- When cooking meat, poultry, or fish, use cooking thermometer to determine internal temperatures.
- Visit foodsafety.gov for more information on safe internal cooking temperatures.

Recipes

Buttermilk Fried Chicken

1 (3 to 3 1/2 pound [1.4 to 1.6 kg]) whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces

1 sprig fresh thyme

2 cups (473 ml) buttermilk

4 cups (946 ml) all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons (10 ml) garlic powder

2 teaspoons (10 ml) ground marjoram

2 teaspoons (10 ml) salt

2 teaspoons (10 ml) thyme leaves

1 teaspoon (5 ml) black pepper

1 teaspoon (5 ml) dried sage

1 teaspoon (5 ml) paprika

Vegetable oil for frying

Directions

1. Place chicken and thyme in 13- x 9-inch (33 x 23 cm) glass baking dish. Pour buttermilk over chicken; stir until chicken is coated. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
2. Heat oil to 350^ (177^) in deep fryer. Prepare a rack to drain the chicken by placing on a cookie sheet lined with paper towels; set aside.
3. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine flour, garlic powder, marjoram, salt, thyme, pepper, sage, and paprika.
4. Lift chicken from buttermilk, letting excess buttermilk drain back into the baking dish.
5. Add several pieces of chicken at a time to the bag of seasoned flour. Shake gently to coat.

6. Remove coated chicken; dip again in reserved buttermilk. Repeat shaking in flour mixture to get a thick coating.

7. Fry chicken until meat thermometer has reached 165^ (74^) and coating is golden brown (about 15 minutes).

8. Raise basket(s) and rest to drain. Transfer chicken to rack to drain.
9. Repeat with remaining chicken pieces.
   Test Kitchen Tip: Divide the seasoned flour mixture into 2 or 3 resealable plastic bags. The buttermilk can make the coating wet, so this way you will have a few bags of dry mixture to work with in order to coat all the chicken pieces thoroughly.
