* Place chicken in basket breast side up and legs toward the basket handle. To prevent burns after frying a whole chicken, be sure to drain the
cavity of the chicken as follows: First, lift the basket to the drain position. Then, with the drain hooks resting on the rim of the removable pot,
push down on the basket handle to tilt the front end of the basket up. This will allow oil to drain out of the cavity of the chicken (see Fig. 5,
page 6).
** Battered foods will stick to the wire mesh of the basket; therefore, it is suggested you place them directly into the oil using a long-handled
scoop or tongs.
*** Place turkey breast in basket on its side; turn turkey halfway through frying.
† Frozen tag weight.
