Hey guys,

I am looking for a new rub for a turkey that I will be deep frying tomorrow. Any recipes would be greatly appreciated.

What cuts are you deep frying?????
On the bone off the bone??

Why not follow the southern fried chicken style. Boil in milk / water first then when cooked cool and cover in flour and spices and egg breadcrumb mix and deep fry. Plenty of recipes on you tube for this kind of thing.

Thanks for the speedy reply john,


I am deep frying the whole turkey. So breading it would probably make a bigger mess in my fryer than anything.

I am looking for a rub to apply under the skin a few hours before she gets dropped in the pot!

Thanks
Chris

What kind of rub?
Spicy, hot chilie style, curry, 5 spice, christmas style?????

I use this cajun style rub for chicken and it works well


Cajun spice mix
� 3 tablespoons Salt
� 1 tablespoon black pepper, coarsely ground
� 1 tablespoon garlic powder
� 1 tablespoon sugar
� 1 tablespoons onion powder
� 1 tablespoon oregano, dried
� 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper (or as hot as you wish)
� 1 tablespoon white pepper
� 1 tablespoon thyme, dried
� 1 teaspoon dried mustard
� 1 teaspoon cumin powder
� 1 tablespoon smoked paprika


For a full bird I would make several slashes in the meat to get the rub right in there.

How long will you deep fry it for....must take an age

Thanks john That looks great, If you don't mind I'd like to have a peak at your Christmas one as well.

The turkey, believe it or not takes 3.5 minutes per pound. So my 20lb bird will take only a little over an hour.

If you haven't tried deep fried turkey yet, you don't know what your missing!

Thnaks again,

Chris

I forgot to add, instead of making slashes in the meat I tend to mix the spice with water and use my injector.

deep fried many


I would not go with a rub but a brine start with a pound of salt and a pound of brown sugar, spice it to your preference.

OR

I also inject with a 50-50 mix of butter and broth.
