I want to buy a deep fat fryer, because I want to cook chips/french
fries, but is there anything else I can just drop in to the fryer
without having to think?
Can you do any meat like chicken in the same way you do potatoes, or do
you have to coat it with batter / bread crumbs before hand?
Thanks, regards, dnw.

Chicken, shrimp, clams, etc., generally need to be breaded/battered for deep
frying, as do many vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, etc.
Having said that, some folks use a deep fryer for frying chicken wings with
no breading, prior to making Buffalo Wings.

Ideas - chicken wings, chicken pieces, breaded vegetable or mushrooms
(buy a huge pack ready to fry at Sam's), golden puffs (I can post the
recipe, it basically is like mixing up a few simple ingredients then
dropping into the hot oil, they are a sweet treat), onion rings, boiled
small whole skinless potatoes. I don't coat chicken at all. The wings
result is still good. If you want a light coating, seasoned flour works
great too.

I do the chicken wings like this. They are great with hot sauce or
honey garlic. They are even great plain :)

If you can deep fry a turkey without breading or batter you can deep fry about
anything else. A friend deep frys standing rib roast. Its delicious.

Sure. Meat, chicken, fish are available for that type of use in the
frozen foods section of most supermarkets.

The cook at a cafeteria style restaurant near me used to deep fry
breakfast meat. If you walked up to the counter and ordered breakfast
with sausage or bacon, the fry cook would turn around and drop a serving
of the breakfast meat of your choice in the fry basket and in it went.
I used to eat at that place two or three times a month, but I did not
like their deep fried breakfast meat so I usually only went there for
lunch or dinner. The owner of that place retired two years ago and a
auto dealership now sits on that land. Oh well.

I deep fry chicken wings, shrimp (shelled) and calamari all the time without
coating them. They take about 10 minutes to fry when frozen, and less when
thawed. When frozen, I put it them in a strainer first, run over cold water
to remove the surface ice, then pat dry with a paper towel. Otherwise, the
oil bubbles out and makes a mess.
I especially like large scallops wrapped in bacon and skewered on a
toothpick, sold frozen at the local grocery store. But they're very
expensive.

I'm assuming that you can't deep fry chicken breast meat without
coating them in something. If that's the case, what's the easiest
coating to put on them before dropping them in to the hot oil. Thanks,
dnw.

You can make onion rings from the large sweet onions.. slice them up
and use a light batter.. tempura batter mix. It's hard to find real
onion rings around my area, most are chopped up onions spit out by
something like a donut maker most likely.

Seasoned flour is pretty much the easiest.

Thanks. Do I (or can I) brush the chicken with oil to make the flour
stick to it? (I don't want to use milk or egg.)

Sorry Wayne for the delay, we were away. Ususally 8 - 10 min is fine at
setting 4 on my fryer (T-fal) which doesn't really tell you a lot. I
can't find an actual temp but my main regulator is when the wings are
golden brown. I'll fish one out, try it, then if it is cooked, I take
the rest out.
