can I deep fry chicken in this

This is pressure cooker with the heavy bottom so, you should not have any problem. But remember that it is not a frying pan.

Yes, you can fry in this skillet. I bought it to camp with which means I use it for everything. I even popped pop corn in it. It is bigger than I expected.

Yes, but I would still use a good old big cast iron skillet for frying chicken, if you have it.

yes, it is deep enough - but remember that the top of the pan is much wider than the bottom. this may be handy when putting your chicken pieces into the hot oil as the oil bubbles up

I doubt it, however the recipe book that comes with it has Vanilla souffle; Chicken tenders (breadcrumb) and Croquettes. The point is these dishes that need flour required premix of oil with the coating prior to air fry. I tried the croquettes and it was kind of dry. The only way is to dip the croquette in oil or brush it heavily with oil to make it crispy. Anything with flour coating seems a challenge here. I am very happy with fried chickens (no coating) as the skins are always crispy!

This frying pan is a no fry pan. You can however bake the chicken in it as long as you do it on the grill.

Would take a very large amount of oil. .We never tried because we have a Deep Fryer. If you want to put that much oil in a 2-1/2" deep skillet and heat it,I would think you are asking for possible spill,burn,and a large mess if it spills. Cheapest deep fryer will fix this problem.

It will fry anything, but you are better off frying chicken pieces with a large, deep skillet.

Hi, you can fry fish and chicken but not a deep fry. I use a small amount of oil with the Oster on a medium heat and brown each side then reduce the heat, cover and cook until done. My one word of caution is the middle does get quite hot because of the element so watch the food close to the center. Good luck and Happy cooking! This is a fun little cooker and you will be so surprised how may meals it will provide ! So fry away ! Remember .... Easy with the oil and you will be fine. Have a great day!

Yes, you can absolutely use it for deep frying, as long as you're frying at no more than 450F. It doesn't need to be refrigerated.

Yes, I have deep fried in this and it works great. I don't know the exact temp as thereis no degrees on it but it heats up great and I have boiled vegetables etc.

I have not tried to fry a whole chicken. The fryer/basket would not be able to hold a whole chicken.

Yes, if you wanted to. It can be used for many things. I sometimes will use peanut oil, my oil of choice for frying, and then deep fry some chicken in it. The height is great for splatter control, and pressure cooking the chicken reduces the cooking time.

Yes, I deep fry Pork chops, chicken, onion rings, the one thing I found out is to take the basket out if you fry onion rings because they will stick to the basket. You will need to change the oil after deep frying battered foods. It makes great fried foods, very tender. I use my Delonghi almost every day.Hope this helps, please feel free to email me with any concerns or questions you may have

No, we used it a few times for frying bacon, but it's not as deep as I wanted. If you cook a lot of bcon at one time, you may have to remove some of the grease or it will run over!

yes, it is designed as a turkey fryer and should have no problems for deep frying. The valve on the bottom is nice for draining oil

This was a gift. I am unsure whether you can fry with it. Contact the manufacture on that question
