We did one this afternoon for our work potluck. Tony Chachery makes a killer garlic butter injection kit. We did a 13.94lb bird in about 50minutes. Kept the oil temp close to 325. I second or third it being COMPLETELY thawed and DRIED. We used a broom handle to lower it into the pot. Also moved it around once in a while....
Needless to say it was a huge hit.....some much so we didnt even get any.
