Default Chicken or Turkey

What does everyone prefer, Cooked in a Turkey Fryer? I am going to do a chicken for the heck of it and see how it is. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you

Jersey...I did one a while back and found the chicken was more moist than turkey.

Not that the turkeys dried out too bad...but the chicken I did really held its juice well.

Make sure to get a good chicken, though. And try to find a fresh one that has not been pumped full of water. That'll screw with the frying process.

So, pretty much the same way you would do a turkey sounds like.

Popere...Just think of it as a jake...LOL

Exactly the same.

Jersey...I think I am going to try pre-cooking a chicken in the oven and breading it to get more crisp on the outside, then frying it, kind of like fried fish.

I'll let you know when I try it.
