    I used to own a Fry Daddy deep fryer by Presto, but it was a bit too small. This GranPappy is just about right for the limited deep frying that we do. It does not use a lot of cooking oil, and it heats up fast. It’s big enough to fry a large chicken breast, although we use it for smaller things. Cleaning is very easy. It does not have a lid to prevent some limited oil spatter during cooking, so I usually put a piece of paper towel over it. It’s simple and it works very well. Be warned that this is an inherently dangerous product with potential for serious inury if knocked over. Keep it well out of reach of children

    Great Fryer But You Need To Know How To Prepare Chicken If You Want The Best Fried Chicken Ever And I’ll Tell You How., November 9, 2013

    The secret to good fried chicken is a real crisp skin.This is a great little fryer, but with chicken you need an extra yet worthwhile step to have the best fried chicken you ever smacked your lips around. This fryer does that but not if the bone-in chicken is raw, the temp of this fryer is too high for raw, bone-in chicken and what happens is undercooked chicken, even legs. But there is a way to get around that and it makes the chicken much better anyway.

    What you need to do is place the pieces of chicken you want to fry in a pot, cover with cold water, add salt to taste and, what I like is a healthy dose of Tabasco sauce. Enough to change the water color and to smell its aroma. You can use whatever herbs or spices you want to impart in the flesh if you like. Bring the cold water with chicken and flavors to a boil uncovered. Once it comes to a boil, remove the chicken, do not boil too long. Let it sit out to dry, it only takes a minute or two for the hot chicken to dry itself, Then, however you want to coat it, I dip the chicken in buttermilk and then flour. Let that sit at least fifteen minutes, as long as it does to let the oil come up to temperature, this gives enough time for the buttermilk and flour to adhere, making less mess in your oil and a better crust. Fry three pieces at a time if you like but no more, it doesn’t take long to bring it to a beautiful golden color. Place it on a rack, never on paper towels to drain, that will keep your chicken crisp on both sides. Once cooled slightly, plate it and you’ll have yourself some real good fried chicken.

    I have just ordered another Fry-Daddy. This will be the third one that I have had over the years. It is lighweight and is just a pot that holds oil as someone said. It is so convenient and not heavy, it makes it easy to store if you do not have countertop room. There are all kinds of deep fryers, but none that does a better job than this one. I would recommend it to anyone.
