Why You Should DEEP FRY On Your Gas Grill

It's easy to learn how to fry on your gas grill and it comes with big benefits. If you fry inside your home, the smell can linger for days and often coats most of the kitchen in frying oil, but If you fry outside on your gas grill, you do it in a self cleaning oven with no lingering smells or mess. There is another huge advantage to deep frying on your gas grill that I share in this video. Can you guess what it is?

This video isn't meant to show you how to deep fry catfish cajun style, but I use it as an example of something that you could deep fry on your gas grill. This method would work great for fries for homemade fried chicken.

I prefer to use cat iron to fry food because it holds in the heat and is oven (and grill!) safe. Mrs. GTE won't let me use her enameled cast iron pan on the grill, so I have my own.

Putting the cooling rack on the other side of the grill was the light bulb moment for me, that's perfect.

Σε ευχαριστώ πολύ για το βίντεο. Εψαχνα στην Ελλάδα αλλά δεν βρήκα κατι τέτοιο. Δεν ηξερα οτι μπορείς να τηγανισεις πάνω στην ψησταριά. Με βοήθησες πολύ.

I was wondering if I could deep fry on a gas grill after I fried chicken inside for the first time in years and realized why I don’t fry chicken anymore. Why isn’t this topic more common? I think this is the only fry on gas grill video on YouTube.

I’ve got one of those circular George Foreman electric grills. Does the cooking surface get hot enough to heat up a pot of oil? I’m dying to try fried chicken but my wife’s not keen on indoor frying.

[samcottrell]

Yum! How do you dispose of your frying oil?

[mauricioorantes]

Awesome but can the same be duplicated on a charcoal grill?

[hkvanx]

nice idea...did you need to remove the flavorizer bar for high direct heat to cast iron pan?

[vapingfastbreak]

Maybe I’m slow but why at the end did you say to turn the burners on low?…

[Joshplayer]

Ok .. but can i do this over a bed of coals?

This could easily create a huge grease fire with that open flame

This might be a dumb comment but can we get a tutorial on how to clean the grease that drips off the rack please
