Actually the deep frying seals the juices into the bird. They're really juicy and don't have a "fried taste" to them. The frying time isn't near long enough to get it as greasy as fried chicken. Fastest way to cook bird. About 38 minutes for a 14 pounder. Any bigger and it won't cook as well. 12 to 14 pounds is the optimum size... Peanut oil too, smokes less if you get it too hot.
