Additional info:
We fried only 3 mixed pieces at a time in our ~30 year old Dazey Model # 2250 combination deep fryer and crock-pot, set at 325 degrees F. on the dial, and cooked each load for precisely a timed 13-1/2 minutes. This really does the trick with the old Dazey. This is an open to the air deep fryer. No pressure. All pieces were perfectly done to the bone, tender, and juicy. And the chicken had the desired look to accompany the note.
The two previous times before this when we used the Dazey we did 13 minutes at 325 degrees, which left a hint of pink on a few thigh bones, and 14 minutes at 325 degrees, which both over-darkened the chicken and started drying it out a bit. 13.5 minutes is the ticket for our aging deep fryer.
The secret to no-stick chicken is to submerge each piece ~2/3 deep in oil by hand and then let go of it. Previously when we had carefully arranged and organized it in the basket and then sent the basket down into the oil it often stuck to the basket (and sometimes appreciably). By dropping it into the basket after partially submerging, it did not stick sans for only 1 piece that partially stuck.
