Chicken oil....?

[deelady]

When you fry chicken or something other than fish.....do you use your oil again? Just wondering

don't fry much, just fish . no i don't reuse it. just put lots less in pan to start with.

Same here. Try to stay away from lots of oil unless it's olive oil.

Im not much of a fryer.

If I am pan frying chicken, the little bit of oil gets made into gravy.
If I'm deep frying wings, that oil stays in the fryer and gets reused several times.

Same here Pacanis. I deep fry in peanut oil and when I'm finished, I strain the oil if I'm frying something with a coating and reuse it probably 5 or 6 times.

ditto what pacanis and Mama said

I fry so little as in about not at all that I discard it...........I would never fry fish or alternate chicken in the same oil...........but do I love fried shrimp or catfish in a restaurant? Bring it on.........and don't forget the hushpuppies!!

Thanks now I don't feel as bad about saving my oil for another use....wasn't sure how sanitary it actually was even though I make sure to cover it.

I reuse mine, it goes into the outside frig, then I pull it out, and plug it back in. If its offensive foods that have major flavor though, I chuck it.

I reuse it until I don't like how deep the color is, usually three or four times (deep frying). Strain it into the bottle and store it at room temperature. DON'T save fish oil.
