Check the archives. Should be a few threads on deep frying. We do that also.

Make real sure the bird is thawed! :twisted: Then do like Bill said Takes about 3.5 minutes per pound. If you have a "normal" pot of about 24-30 quarts limit the birds size to under 12 pounds (don't ask me how I know this - just don't look at the grease stain on the pool deck )

Inject with cajun butter and rub under the skin with your favorite fowl rub (hint: Tony C. or Emeril's Essence work real well). Instructions for injecting are included with most cookers and with most jars of injection marinade -- the syringe is included, too.
