Glad to see it came out well.
What do you mean by the skin reacts w/ the oil?
Anytime meat hits oil that hot with excess water on it, the oil will boil violently and has a chance to spill over which can be a disaster. It's the basic "oil and water don't mix". When you see stories on the news about somebody blowing up a garage or deck because of a
turkey fryer, what typically happens is they drop a piece of meat that has not been patted dry or not thoroughly thawed out. The oil can bubble over and hit the flame on the
turkey fryer base, which is connected to your propane tank....then you have a big problem.
I just posted that tidbit for safety purposes in case someone else would like to try one. This does not meat that the meat is dry. In fact, I injected it with about 16oz of apple juice.
