I unironically don't know how you're suppose to make something like Fried Chicken at home

Do you actually pour out an entire bottle of oil just for one meal then...then what? Do you throw the oil away? Re-use it for something else same day? Or can you actually it keep it for other things for the rest of the week

You can reuse it for a tiny bit yeah, but overall deep frying is a huge fucking mess and uses up a shitload of oil that you do have to dispose of at some point. Let it cool, pour it into a full bag of trash and then carefully take it to the dumpster/bin outside. Not your problem.

Pretty much, it's honestly just a waste of time. I've done it multiple time thinking it would be fun and it's simply not. The only reason to fry at home is if you're a redneck who fries fresh caught catfish in his outdoors fryer for his 50 cousins. Otherwise it's simply not worth the time money or effort.

I think it's more hassle than it's worth personally, but yeah you buy those big things of high burn temp oils if you do this frequently. You can refrigerate and reuse the oil, but that's fucking gross imo. Honestly an air fryer will get you like 90% there with much less hassle.
>Do you throw the oil away?
Pretty much. You can compost small amounts, but most people just jar it and throw it in the trash. You can alternatively process it and use as fuel for a diesel engine lol.

You can shallow fry which uses less oil like in your pic.

You can also just bake something and still get it to be pretty close. A lot of people try just putting dry breaded chicken into the oven but that doesn't make it get crispy. You have to put a little oil on the baking sheet and then drizzle a little more oil over the top of the breaded chicken or whatever, and that helps it crisp up like when frying. Deep frying is always going to taste the best but baking it properly like that is good too.

From my experience home frying 15-20 times in the past year, I would only comfortably reuse fry oil if I strained all the bits out and then used it again within the next 5 days, preferably the next day. You also have to think about what is going to flavour the next batch of oil. So if you do deep fried french fries and then fried chicken then it would taste fine, but maybe not the reverse. You could also deep fry donuts and it will more or less taste like donuts.

No, not like taxes. That doesn't go directly into one man's pockets and I live in a state where I get a little bit of it back in terms of services. I have a great library system, fantastic firefighters, not completely awful police compared to other states and I went to a very decent school system and have neighbors and friends with kids that get the benefit of similar decent public education.
Yeah I'm with you, a lot of our taxes are going to shit, cool, but there's a clear difference between paying property tax on your land (I don't agree on the rate, but whatever) and paying your landlord and not having anything to show for it when you eventually move out or die.
Again, you'll never understand. I'm not saying owning land or a house is for everyone and that everyone should do it, but there are often advantages.
>Keep giving the government money while they raise your taxes and you lose your ass on interest
Yeah that's not really how that works.
I am in a very stable financial situation and I am pretty certain I can weather the incoming economical shitstorm in big part of the investments that I made, including owning property.
It doesn't sound like you can say the same.
I'm not going to read any replies to this, but please go look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself if you are truly happy with where you are and your prospects. If you are, great, disregard all of this, you are killing it. If you're not, maybe consider that your way of thinking and doing things is faulty and you need to change.

Use a pan that fits the amount of chicken and a cup of oil max. Six minutes on one side with a lid on, six minutes on the other side with a lid on, a couple minutes with the lid off flipping each piece to get it evenly browned. Let the oil cool and pour it into a jar, use it for future cooking. Or get webm related if you can't imagine a use for delicious chicken infused oil.

also storing them. I keep my deep frying oil there. It already has strainer so you don't have to wash anything extra. I just dump the bits that gets caught in the strainer onto a paper towel and throw it in the trash. It just makes deep frying easier. I have tried what the other anon said of pouring it back into the oil container but it's tedious because a. you have to wait for it to cool b. you have to use a strainer and a funnel because you will need to strain the oil for reuse. apart from the extra dishes to wash, it's also not easy using a funnel and a strainer depending on what kind of funnel strainer combo you have in the house.

Two in the pink. Oil in the sink.

[Anonymous No.17135582]

>>17133642
Small pot. Enough oil to fully cover one of the things you want to fry (actually even less because liquid displacement). Fry in small batches, like if it's a whole chicken leg (w/thigh), only one at a time; if it's wings - 3-4 at a time.
Make fries afterwards, in same oil.
Food soaks oil, so you'll end up wasting maybe 1/8 of the bottle. (you'll still use up like 1/3, but it ends up in the food).

[Anonymous No.17136568]

>>17133642
You re-use the oil, ideally in some sort of deep fryer with a filter... but letting it cool in a pot or dutch oven, then pouring it through a coffee filter into a container/jug/bottle works fairly well for a few uses.

[Anonymous No.17136577]

>>17136551
It's more efficient since it gets the oil to the correct temp, ensuring food doesn't soak it up like at lower temps, and prevents it from overheating to a smoke point and ruining the oil. Also, if it has a filtration and storage system like pic related, it can help you get max usage out of your oil (6-10 uses is about what you usually get).

Blanch them (water or oil... better with oil in my experience), let them sit for at least 5 mins, then fry them until crispy. The rest period's as important as any other part of the process - lets the fry cook through and starches on the surface gel up with the oil/water for a crispier fry.

[Anonymous No.17141827]

>>17136536
I have a slightly older model of that fryer and for fries I've found that the double fry is required. 3 min in then up for 2min so that the heating element doesn't turn off at temperature but is really close to being at temperature so you start the second fry with it still trying to heat. The second fry is until steam stops coming off and the fries are all floating and turning brown normally about 4 min. I also use a fry cutter with the shoestring size. Frozen fries work and due to the coating turn out slightly different from homemade fries.

The extra prep work with boiling the fries with some vinegar is too much work to be worth it for a small amount of crispness.
