can you use this burner to fry chicken on

It would probably get hot enough, but I would want something larger for stability before I put a pan of hot oil on it!

Never tried, we use ours to heat oil and fry fish. sorry. But we love it for that.

It is cast iron, so yes it would be just like a cast iron frying pan, but the burner would only cover part of it so the heat distribution might not be the best.

yes, i've done it a few times. don't put too much oil in and it will leave batter fragments at the bottom so pay attention. it cooks chicken fast.

No, you can't fry chicken in it. You can grill or saute chicken but not fry. It isn't deep enough to hold enough oil to really "fry" chicken.

Yes, it can. That is one of the reasons I purchased it. Goes across both burners on my stove so I have a large cooking area.

Yes. I even use it to cook chicken thighs, chicken breast, pork chops, and fries.

Yes you can. Wings and thighs are wonderful cooked in the fryer. The skin is crisp and the meat is juicy. I haven't tried cooking a breast so can't rate it's performance there.

You can, but I mix it with bread crumbs or something else when I fry something. You need to fry at a lower heat than normal or it will burn.

The instructions warn you not to fry anything in this pot. I typically take warning labels as a challenge, however, and proceeded to fry a turkey in it without any problems. I think wings would be fine. Just make sure your oil isn't getting too hot and the chicken is dry before you drop it in and you should be fine.

I don't know if it can, we have not used the burner that way. We hook it up to a portable tank. Sorry.

No. You have to know what your doing though. One mess up and you could fry it. My husband did it.

Yes it can be used just like any other deep fryer but its best to not use any flour in this unit. Mine's burnt out trying to cook chicken wing's

I've found out that you have to match the large fry pan with the size of the burner. Otherwise, you'll end up with a "hot spot" in the center of the pan. If you can move the food around easily, it would probably not be a problem. I have a WOLF stove at home, and use a Camp Chef 90 when camping, and both have large burner rings that will heat this large fry pan evenly. I've never used electric stoves, but other than the weight of a fully loaded pan, I don't know why it wouldn't.

No, I use it mainly for frying but I assume that you could if you set the temp, put the lid on and monitor the roast. check the booklet that came with it

Yes. I make fried rice in it myself, but keep in mind it is not deep like a chicken fryer.

I wouldn't try it. The issue I had with the pan was with my flat top stove. The burner heats the part of the pan that touches it so quickly and the part that overhang the burner stays cool causing the pan to warp.
