A turkey Hot tub. :)
I'll be frying a Cajun spiced turkey up on Friday, for my annual, "No Family allowed, we got no left over's post Thanksgiving day party" I think more people are showing up for the day after party than actual, traditional Thanksgiving. :^)
To make it even more rednecky, we're frying up snickers bars as well. You know...just like the pilgrams did.
And of course, the bathing suit optional hot tub party.
Turkey, booze and a hot tub. We'll all be asleep by 2:00

We never did fried snickers, but it was suggested by some friends... so I'm going to give it a whirl. (I'll be using clean oil for that, I don't want them to taste like spicey turkey). Also gonna cut up some potatoes and try some home made freedom fries.

drewstar, you have got to fry some Twinkies! Put them on a stick, dip them in funnel cake batter, freeze them, fry them, sprinkle powdered sugar and drizzle chocolate syrup, then serve. Best...Dessert....Ever!

Do you freeze the twinkies first? I think I'll grab some and try it.
(The snickers recipe said to chill the candy first.
Also, I'm making my own batter (taken from the web). IT's said to be a "funnel" cake batter.
Flour, eggs, salt, sugar, baking soda.
Any experience and tips you can pass along?
-
I believe you freeze the Twinkie and the batter. Â That's how I've seen it done. Â I think you fry them til they float.
Don't forget the powdered sugar and chocolate syrup, or you can add blueberries or raspberries. Â Get creative and get some pics!

I tried kit kats and reeses peanut butter cups.
the kit kats were good and peanut butter cups were a mess waiting to happen. but i also didn't freeze them. I'll try that next time.
-
Freeze the batter? I dunno. My limited cullanary skills has proven that cold batter doesn't work as well? I was told to put sticks in the candy, chill. dip in the batter and fry till golden brown.
I just called the wife...."Hey pick up some twinkies too!" I sugggested.
She called me Homer Simpson. ::)

Wooohooooo! Look what the UPS man done brought me!

I think if you don't freeze the batter, it's going to be extra crispy while the Twinkie is still frozen. I'm telling you, that's the way they do it at the State Fair of Texas. Fair folk know better than us.

Hey you Americans have got this Thanksgiving thing right. Us Canadians do it in October, and it's only a Monday. You have the Thursday as the offical holiday, and then everyone take's off Friday....Nice!!! Then you have your biggest shopping day of the year before Christmas....where we have our big shop the day after Christmas. Mind you, we do have government health care...oh never mind.
Happy Thanksgiving to all you American hot tub lovers.
Hey Term....which hot tub is in the background of your wine glass shot?

Never argue with a carnie.
I'll try some dipped and frozen battered and some at room temp.

Mark, that is a blue Jetsetter.
BTW, my little pro sports project that you were interested in at one point is still in the works. We are in the middle of negotiating expansion of our territory. IF our proposal is accepted, I'll spill the beans to you. I'm keeping my fingers crossed at this point.

I have never tired fried turkey...but I hear its great....do those of you who do fry do you also have a baked bird as well.....I guess peanut oil is what most fry them in.....

I agree with you on this, I don't think a homemade batter would freeze well, and will probably fall apart as soon as you put in the deep fryer. The fairs are probably factory made with preservatives and other nasties that they can freeze it.
I would however make sure the twinkies are good and chilled, maybe even throwing them in the freezer for 15 minutes, not frozen solid but good and cold. I tried them at room temperature and the twinkies got greasey and the filling all melted. :'( but I didn't have a recipe i winged it after seeing it on the food channel.

I fry with Peanut oil. It's about $6 a gal. (Vegitable oil is about $1.50 a gal). Peanut oil is much better, and IMHO, worth it.
You'll need 5 gallons to do a decent sized bird.
I don't know why you'd want to do 2 birds? I can get a 20lb + turkey easily into my fryer. That's more than enough for our dinner.
And yes, it is everything you've heard. It tastes amazing, I inject marinades into the turkey and it's great. Cajun is ny favorite. Mesquite is also a nice flavor.
It can make a mess (oil bubbles over, 5 gallons of oil to deal with, large pots to clean, but it's worht it. ) I'll fry up a turkey about 2-3 times a year.
;D ;D ;D ;D

Thats gonna be one tough and nasty bird. I would throw it out and go to KFC!

That is a crusty lookin' little pink bird in da pot, without a doubt.
drewstar, I promise you, the carnie folk had the battered and skewered Twinkie in the freezer. When I order it, they pull it out, take the Saran wrap off, and drop it in the oil. 5 minutes later, it's like an orgasm on a paper plate!

You gotta come up with a better analogy.

I rubbed my turkey last night.....kinda like chokin' the chicken only more fowl..... ;D.....used a great cajun rub and then injected it with Cajun Butter Marinade and it's now soakin in its own li'l tub'o'sauce. Planning on putting it on the rotisserie tomorrow and watching it as I drain and refill my tub. I love fried turkey and I'm anticipating this rotisserie turkey to be exceptional as well.......
HEY BILL.....get this back to the main board......I'm talkin' water change here........ ;D

We ended up not frying the twinkies. We figured that between the turkey, the french fries, and the snickers bars being fried, our artieries couldn't handle any more. ::)
But to end the freeze the candy withthe batter or not debate, Terminator, I forze the candy bars, and right before frying, we dipped the candy into the batter (room temperature) and they came out awesome.
It was kinda like a red neck foundue. Everyone sitting outside in freezing cold, sticking these long sticks into the hot oil, frying up candy bars.

One of the resturants around here serves deep fried oreos. They are amazing!!!
-
Deep frying makes anything taste good.
You could probably make a shoe taste good if you deep fried it!

Like Brewman said...are you sure they were Oreo's and not poodle turds?
-
I heard of the deep fried oreo's and came across them while searching for tips on the net. At first I was skeptical, but many folks claim they're great. It's my understanding the cookie gets soft and warm, kind of like a hot, fudgey brownie.
The snikers were a big hit, although very filling. 1/2 a candy bar was more than enough. We'll do this again, and maybe try the twinkies and oreos.

doesn't it make the milk greasey?

Oreos and Snickers are hillbilly fare. Bananas Foster, Creme Brule', Baked Alaska, all second rate pretenders to the throne. The Fried Twinkie is KING of DESSERTS. There can be only one.....
