Interesting technique starts with boiling in milk water

See as in the other thread you are asking the wrong questions.

It shouldn’t be “but why?”

It should be “but why not?”

Same as putting cheese on the grouper.

I grill whole chickens often. In fact, I'm doing one right now. Seasoned between the meat and the skin, then inject with a bbq sauce/vinegar injection thoughout the different part of the chicken. Place bird sitting on a a tin can (thin can, once held asparagus) and make your sauce inside the can to glaze chicken throughout the process. Place indirect heat, around 300 for a 1.5 hours, turning bird away from heat halfway though. Simple, moist, delicious and cost less that $10 to eat 5 meals from.

My original problem was that I'm strange and don't like the skin of a chicken but when I remove skin, I lost too much of the seasoning or ended up with dry chicken if I removed before grilling. So, I started with that idea and ended up with this process. Easy, cheap, delicious, and a reason to use the pit on a Sunday afternoon and eat for a week.

Because a whole chicken wouldn’t have batter on both sides of the pieces like fried cut chicken does. Which is why I ask “But why?” Im asking a question.

But once again, you’re biased towards me and want to put down anything I say.

If you don’t like the skin, pull it and then season before grilling it. Plenty of peeps do this, especially with the thighs.

Dumb. Totally reduces surface area for the batter.

Exactly my point. So has anyone answered why frying a whole chicken is good?

Same reason people fry turkeys whole. Easy, juicy, tastes good. I wouldn't fry one using the milk and batter method in this thread.

Exactly. If you don't eat the crispy fried chicken skin, Al Qaeda, Communists in China & Russia, and the Democrats all win.

But you don’t batter a Turkey nor do you regularly fry Turkey parts like you do with chicken. If you like it, go for it, im just trying to figure out why, that’s all.

Relax and read my post again.

I would/will fry whole chickens just like I do sometimes fry a whole turkey. It's easy and no issues with the batter sticking or burning while chicken cooks through.

I do not batter a whole chicken when I fry it. Simply fry it naked as you would a whole turkey at Thanksgiving

A couple guys I was in the Lion’s club with would do this every year. Smallish fryers were trimmed around the nec and Pope’s nose removed. They marinaded them over night with red wine sherry. Seasoned inside and out with Tony’s then a rigorous shake in a bag of flour. They fried at about 325F for 4-5 minutes per pound if I recall. About the same rules for turkey. They deep fried them in a turkey rig and removed them with wire. The key was to drain them on end and let them sit almost 45 minutes for carryover cooking. They were always juicy and delicious. Whole fryers get below $.99 lb regularly. Why not?

Naked whole fried chicken, like a fried turkey, to me seems like an alternate for baking a whole chicken. Which, makes sense and could be good.

I just don't consider it an alternate for battered FRIED chicken, which is a totally different thing.
