One important note that you probably already know, but I repeat because I almost burned down the family beach house. Determine the amount of oil you will need WITH the bird in the pot. Put the bird in, fill to the level with water, take the bird out, measure the water. My first time, I estimated, got the oil up to temperature, put the bird in, and oil came over the sides, catching fire on its way to the back porch floor. Luckily I had a fire extinguisher handy, or it could have been a disaster.
