It's not as bizarre as it sounds. They're not breaded, simply dinked into hot oil and deep-fried for half an hour or so. If you're not an idiot and follow basic precautions it's a pretty reasonable way to do things, as it's much quicker than roasting for multiple hours.
Basic precautions include:
* Do it outside away from structures
* Keep a fire extinguisher handy
* Make sure there's no ice in the bird
* Measure the displacement of the bird (by filling your pot with water), and add the appropriate amount of oil
* Heat the oil up to 250, then add the bird. Don't let the temp get over 350.
I have a propane stove I use for making beer; it's often sold as a turkey fryer stove

- QuercusMax 5y agoI've never dried off the bird particularly; if you don't dunk it until the oil is around 250, it typically drops the temp down to near 212 (100C) and the water boils off pretty gently. The real issue is if you have ice, which is often present in big chunks.
