Instructions

1. Fill the fryer half way with peanut oil and light the burner beneath.

2. Heat the oil until a frying thermometer registers 350 degrees F. This can take up to one hour, depending on outdoor conditions. Fill a marinade injector and inject the chicken legs with internal flavoring, if you'd like. You can also add spices, coatings or batter to the chicken legs.

3. Lower the prepared chicken legs into the hot oil with the long handled tongs. Stand back as far as possible when inserting or removing the chicken from the oil.

4. Adjust the heat on the burner beneath the fryer to maintain an oil temperature of 350 degrees F.

5. Cook the chicken legs for 9 minutes per pound of legs or until the a meat thermometer inserted into the leg reads 180 degrees F.
