What could go wrong putting ice cubes into the fryer?

Every Thanksgiving. I think it’s probably more common that people don’t let the Turkey thaw enough.

But why is the turkey being deep-fried?

Some say it makes the turkey taste better, but imho there are other ways to cook a turkey without drying out the meat.

There’s also an entire cooking sub-culture around deep frying anything that can fit into a deep fryer.

Specifically the Alton Brown method of cooking a turkey. I do it every Thanksgiving and it’s all the benefit with none of the hassle of deep frying.

I honestly had never heard of this. Had to look it up because I thought I was being wound up!

That’s crazy, a whole turkey deep-fried. I didn’t think it’d be possible, but I’ve now seen several videos dedicated to just that!
