- How to Fry a Chicken in the Big Easy Oil-Less Fryer. Today we will show you how to fry a whole chicken in the Big Easy Oil-Less Fryer. There are just 3 simple steps for this recipe: 1) brine the chicken for moisture, 2) inject with the Herb and Honey Wine mixture for flavor and moisture and 3) cook in the oil-less fryer.
Follow the steps in this recipe and you will end up with a perfectly cooked chicken in the Big Easy Oil-Less Fryer every time.
Brine Ingredients
• 2 tablespoons Kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
Herb & Wine Injection Ingredients
• ½ cup Honey Wine (Mead). You can substitute white wine
• 1 stick salted butter
• 1 teaspoon sage
• 1 teaspoon rosemary
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• ½ teaspoon red pepper
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• Everglades Fish and Chicken Seasoning (to taste), more info: www.armadillopepper.com/produ...
Protein Ingredients
• 4 lb whole chicken
Recipe Instructions
Start by removing the insides of the chicken and rinsing. For this chicken we are going to use a dry brine. To make the brine, mix the Kosher salt and baking powder. The salt will act as the brine and the baking powder will help crisp the skin when cooked. Sprinkle the Everglades chicken seasoning over the chicken.
Place the chicken on a wire rack on a baking pan in the refrigerator overnight. You want air to be able to get to all sides of the chicken.
The next day, melt the butter in a pan over medium high heat. Add the wine and stir well. Mix in all the dry ingredients and simmer for about 15 minutes. This will allow all of the flavors to blend well.
Remove the mixture from the heat and strain. Straining prevents the herbs from clogging your injection needle.
While the injection mixture is cooling, remove the chicken from the refrigerator and sprinkle (to taste) with some more of the Everglades chicken seasoning.
Tie the chicken legs together with kitchen twine. This step is optional, but makes it easier getting the chicken out of the Big Easy Oil-Less Fryer basket.
Start the Big Easy Oil-less Fryer with the gas knob fully open.
Next, inject the chicken. At a 45 degree angle, inject the chicken about every one to two inches. Be sure to get the breasts injected. The legs are optional as dark meat tends to stay juicier during the cook.
Put the chicken in the Big Easy basket with the breast side up. Do not use the Big Easy lid. The cook time will vary depending on your specific cooker and the outside air temperature. This cook took 1 hour and 10 minutes. I recommend you take a temperature check at 40 to 50 minutes. Then, you will get an idea of the remaining cook time needed.
Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Remove from the Big Easy Oil-Less Fryer and let rest for 15 minutes (let the basket cool down a bit). Use caution removing the chicken from the basket. It is hot!

That is one mighty fine lookin bird Jeff! yum!
Nice! I'm giving my Big Easy the first run tomorrow. Thanks for posting, now I know what I should expect.
+Wardens It does a great job on chicken and turkey. Good luck!
what an awesome cook thank you so much for the tip about the baking powder I will be using that tip. I'm a big fan of ya'll guys thanks so much TNT BBQ
Thank you Big T! Always enjoy hearing from you and appreciate the feedback.
Good video
In one video, he recommended not punching any more holes than necessary. You can punch a hole in a central location and turn the syringe in different directions. I am not sure how much difference it makes but it is easy so I do it.
Thanks!
I need to break out my Big Easy, it does a great job cooking up chicken. Good cook Jeff, nice sweatshirt!
Tom's Test Kitchen Ah yes, we have lost a few games over the last 10 days.
Beautiful and Gorgeous Whole Chicken!!!
I tried something different tonight. I put the chicken near the bottom in the basket attachment, then on the 2nd rung from the top I put on the chicken leg cooker attachment. I draped thick pieces of bacon over the chicken leg attachment (like I was hanging laundry) so it drip basted the chicken as it cooked... pretty amazing. Cooked the bacon really nice as well. I have a short video of how I had it arranged if you need a visual. I'm planning on doing this with a turkey breast for Thanksgiving.
Sounds like a good idea!
Looks awesome!!!
Thanks Brian. This is a great way to cook chicken (and turkey).
I just got a Big Easy as a gift and plan on doing a chicken tonight. Your tips helped.
Let me know how your chicken turns out Kevin.
ArmadilloPepper.com I’m his cousin, he burned down his double wide trailer while trying to attempt this. He’s currently in the hospital on 2nd degree burn. His trailer is gone, and luckily no one eles hurt, but his dog Cody is currently up for adoption.. pls keep him in your prayer
Looks so good with flavor and moisture. I know that tastes really good
It didn't last long!
Your chicken looked fantastic!
Thank you Cricket. We really like making chicken in this cooker.
Damnit! All your videos make my mouth water! Never used a oil less fryer, may have to get one.
Thanks Bob. We love this thing...and they don't pay us to say that.
The chicken looks good Jeff!
Thanks Justin. It was gone pretty quick.
We figured out the UA-cam viewer that left the suggestion for wrapping the wing tips in foil...just wanted to recognize Brian L for his suggestion. Thanks!
Great job. Tyfs ...looks great
Thanks.....Thanksman!
I have never used an injector, but that sure looks moist. Thumbs Up my friend
Injections work well with chicken and turkey. Some folks use in pork also. Thanks Cheryl!
That looked good! I've never tried dry brining a chicken. I usually soak them in a liquid brine. I'll have to try it sometime!
I usually wet brine also. One advantage of dry brine is that it requires less space in your frig.
love my big easy, do not use it enough, what part of Florida are you in? every chicken I ever cooked in it was great, yours looks awesome
We're in Jax. Agreed, this Big Easy is great with chicken and turkey.
making this today.
🙂
Thank you so much. Have no recipes for this treasure! Is there a book or site to find?
Yes, the site with more recipes in listed in the description box. We also have a big easy oil-less fryer recipe playlist on our UA-cam channel.
I have a big easy gas version smoker and the chicken when it's cooked in the big easy all the tasty juices of the chicken drain out and chicken has lost its flavour. How do I stop juices from draining out on big easy when cooking it I cook to 165c thanks
I use the parts we don't use to help making soup (boiling)..
I haven't done that, but understand it makes awesome soup stock.
How long does this chicken take to cook?
1.5 hrs give or take. Time will vary based in outside temp and size of chicken.
how long to make a turkey
Depends on a lot of factors, but you should budget 3 to 4.5 hours. We have Big Easy turkey videos on our channel.
I simply cut the wing tips off. They go in the stock pot.
That's the best idea in my opinion.
@@Armadillopepper ....my 15yo daughter likes the cr unchy wing tips however so tonight I left them on. Thank you so much for you very educational videos!
@@messerist Appreciate the feedback Bro!

Does anyone find the big easy NOT cooking a turkey all the way through? This has been my experience multiple times.
I have cooked over a dozen turkeys in it and never had that problem. Three things to watch out for: 1) make sure turkey is totally thawed, 2) don't use the lid and 3) don't use a high sugar content seasoning.
@@Armadillopepper thanks for the tip. Charbroil echoed the same about the lid. Which we did use the entire time.
@@Daddyoftam I don't use the lid except sometimes during the last 20 minutes if the chicken or turkey is not as brown as I want. The one exception is if it's like 30 degrees out or lower.
@@Armadillopepper good to know. I live in Pittsburgh. It's a high possibility that the temps are too low on Thanksgiving. So leave the lid off. Also, rub peanut oil on the fryer walls.
seriously, eating and smacking lips in microphone?
Awwww poor Wobert has a problem with someone enjoying their food! Grow a pair "Snowflake" Nice Job on the video and smacking the lips!!
