Thread: Cast iron?

Anyone own a chicken fryer?

I liked the idea of a slightly deeper pan with a lid for frying.

Then again I have a dutch oven and I was wondering if that couldn't serve the same purpose.

While I don't have a 'chicken fryer' from looking online it looks like my Lodge Dutch Oven is maybe a bit smaller in diameter and is deeper so I don't see why it couldn't be used for your purpose.

I will tell you that my father and two of his sisters told me that to cook chicken like my granny did you needed to #1 use lard and a lot of it/at least 1/2 way up the chicken. #2 season the chicken AND the flour with salt and pepper. #3 when the chicken was close to being done, remove it from the fat and put in a pan in the oven at 350 degs to finish cooking.

With that said--Different Strokes for Different Folks.

I got a sample of Buzzy from Roy today. It is very similar to mine at first glance and feel. It had sat in the cold mailbox for a while and will have to heat up. I will give it a go shortly but not tonight for sure as it is archery league night!

Glad to hear that the Buzzy landed safe and sound. I'm looking forward to the report on the comparison between it and yours.

So it's 'Archery League Night' well have fun--

Don't laugh to hard, I have 4 of these.

A small class and senior division......

I have started many times to figure out how to make cribbage boards out of them and have them be useful.

Not laughing in the least my friend. I just thought I'd show what an Archery League might have looked like many years ago.

I meant I was going off topic.

I think that that picture is close to my teammates.

Of course I am not in the picture because I am taking it............

Exactly the way I was taught.
