Deep Fried Chicken
IMPORTANT:
Never fill the basket more than 2/3 full of food
(1/2 is best), since this will cause the temperature of the oil
to decrease below the optimal frying temperature and
result
in foods that are not as light or crispy as they can be.
1. Pour 9 cups oil into the pot.
2. Wipe the inside of the viewing window
with a little oil to prevent condensation.
3. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
In a plastic bag, pour the flour, chicken
seasoning and 1 teaspoon salt.
4. Place 5 pieces of chicken into the bag and shake until the pieces
are well covered. Repeat this step until all the pieces are well covered.
5. Place chicken into the basket. Place the bigger pieces of chicken
in the basket first, followed by the smaller pieces.
6. Make sure the food is as dry as possible, water will cause the oil to
splatter. Place the basket back into the pot and gently close the lid.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT lower the basket yet.
7. Plug the power cord into the wall outlet.
8. Turn the Main Power to “ON.”
Both the red power and yellow
temperature lights will turn on.
Adjust the dial thermostat to
the desired temperature 350°F.
9. You need to pre-heat the oil in the
deep fryer for 15 minutes before
the first batch of food is cooked.
You do not need to pre-heat for
consecutive uses. When the desired
temperature is reached, the yellow
temperature light will turn off.
10.
Press the button on the handle and gently begin to lower the basket.
Cook the chicken for 15 – 21 minutes or until chicken is cooked
and is
golden brown.
