I have had, in some higher end gastro pub's, chicken wimgs that were first smoked then fried in duck fat. Very good. Anyone ever smoke a turkey for just a couple of hours then finish in deep fryer with peanut oil?

Also, I have heard that cottonseed oil delivers better taste than peanut? Anyone experience this?

Smoke, then fried poultry is a technique popularized by David Chang. Couple of concerns:

1) The meat probably wont cook all the way through during the smoke phase, so be sure to get it into the oil immediately. If you smoke to temp then fry, you run risk of drying it out in a hurry.

2) Separate the turkey into primals first for better smoke absorption and more even cooking.

3) A nice garlicky, vinegary relish or garnish would be awesome on it. Something like a gremolata even. Chopped parsley, garlic, little bit of vinegar, some lemon zest.
