I thought about fryin' a turkey for Thanksgiving, but found it hard to justify the price of the oil for something I don't use that much. Besides, I'd never smoked one before so I decided to do that.

While still craving fried bird, a friend hooked me up with some half priced peanut oil that was damaged but not leaking. Bingo!

So I picked up a whole fryer and injected it with Creole butter marinade and coated with Cajun Shake. Let 'er sit in the fridge for several hours. The rest is in the pix.











I had to pass the time some how...








Not quite done...see pink spot...




I've done a bunch of cluckers this way. I should be beyond making these mistakes. Oh well a little time in the oven got rid of the pinkies. Then it was very tasty!
