I will tell you why you need this Oil-Less Turkey Fryer from Char-Broil.
This Oil-Less Fryer is not just for Turkeys, you can also purchase the two accessory kits from Char-Broil and hang Ribs and Chicken Legs in the cooking basket, and the flavor infuser to add moister and flavor to your turkey. You can also cook roasts and turkey breast in this same unit.
Oil turkey Fryers are very dangerous, and many homes, porches and people have been burned by Oil Turkey Fryers. There is a ZERO Percent chance of a Flare-Up or an Oil Boil-Over with this Oil-Less Turkey Fryer.

I’ve deep fried turkeys for over 20 years for Thanksgiving but decided to roll the dice with the Big Easy. This year we hosted for 16. I asked a guest to bring an oven baked “safety” bird. The Big Easy surpassed all expectations. The safety bird went uneaten and I’ll never deep fry again.
That's awesome, I know it takes a little bit longer and then Big Easy than it does in a oil fryer but virtually no mess to clean up.
That's crazy, the safety bird was uneaten. And you asked someone to bring a bird.
This is the comment I was looking for. I have only been deep frying our turkey for the last couple of years. Then a co-worker told me about this option. I ordered one just now from Lowe's for $99 on sale. I'm happy to see the flavor is still there vs deep frying.
Best bird ever I get request's from Family to cook a bird for them afterwards turkey for sandwiches and soup

Thanks for posting. I’m so excited for an oil-free yet even more flavorful Thanksgiving!
@@BrentCorbin-gf8hx I don't recall the exact number of turkeys I cooked in this fryer over the years. I know it has to be over a dozen and out of all those turkeys only one didn't turn out, and that was because it wasn't thoroughly thawed out. I bought the complete accessory package for this unit if I cooked ribs in it not long ago and they turned out awesome I also did some shish kabobs and I plan on doing a video on that they turned out awesome too. And there's no chance of catching the house on fire or yourself.
Thank you so much for this video. It will make my first time so much easier. Just got one for Black Friday for $99. I'll be waiting to see you cook Ribs in it
I just saw them at Lowe's for 99.00 also
I'm sold on the Big Easy! Bought my first one 2 yrs. ago, cooked moose roasts, pork tenderloins, ribs, chickens and turkeys in it, everything turned out great. Last year I bought another one for hunting camp and this year sent one down to our winter home in Mazatlan.
Yeah I should have bought a second one when I went on sale for $99 before Thanksgiving. If they go on sale again I'm going to order one. Probably a good idea to have two.
Just bought the oiless fryer and watched your video. The video was very entertaining and super helpful!! Thanks for sharing with us.
Thank you, happy Thanksgiving...
Thanks Paul for posting this. For about 8 years now I have always deep fried our turkeys. Today we saw this oil less fryer come up on sale on Amazon for 99.00. The clean up from deep frying has always been time consuming and I always felt guilty disposing of the oil after one use, plus peanut oil is expensive. Watching your video made us feel that we made a good choice with this purchase and we can’t wait to see the results from it this Thanksgiving.
Wow, that's a great deal. I will have to pick up a second one.
Yeah you're right to clean up is very easy. Nothing will really get on the sides of the cooking pot but some chunks will settle down on the bottom of the pot just use a plastic paint scraper and scrape it off, everything else drains into the catch pan.
Love mine. I use Tony Cachere's Cajun Butter and Creole rub to inject and rub. So good.
Sounds tasty.
Cool beans! I am completely sold on this…Amazing video!
Been using this oiless fryer for years. I need a new lid mine is rusted out. I watch these videos to make sure I remember how to do it. I also use the oiless fryer with these racks to cook two whole chickens, they always turn out fantastic as well.
You can go to charbroil.com.
If you haven't registered your product, you can do so now.
Then go back into replacement parts and punch in your model number. The lid is #13 in the list, it is $11.00. I hope this helps.
Thanks for the refresher! Clear and entertaining!
glad my video helped.
Thanks Paul I’m frying my first turkey this thanksgiving and I just bought the big easy. This was extremely helpful
You are going to love this fryer, your turkey will turn out awesome. Of course when you cut the turkey you should wait till it's a lot cooler cuz as you can see it was being torn apart while I was cutting it I just finished it off 8 days later I had turkey for breakfast and turkey for dinner every single day.
I did recently receive the flavor infuser I'm looking forward to trying that on the next turkey.
Good morning Rory it's the day after Thanksgiving How did your turkey turn out.
@@HowtowithPaulHenderson sorry for the late reply. it turned out amazing!! the turkey was very juicy, and everyone loved it. they couldn't believe it was my first-time deep frying! thank you for all your help!
Do you have to use that basket. The one you drop it in with. Can I just use the one we use in a oil fryer. Would just seem easier to use the fork from the oil fryer instead of that basket.
I don't know what the oil fryer one looks like, but the open end of the turkey has to face downward so the juices inside can drip out. Basket also keeps it in the center of a cooking pot and keeps the legs spread, but If you can do that and keep it in the center and off the bottom of the cooking pot I don't see why not. I can't hurt to try.
Lovely done and yummy 😋
Thanks, and it was awesome. I did make another turkey The following week and I'm eating that one right now.
looks amazing. I will be attempting my first turkey this year with the big easy! can you inject a marinade in the bird before cooking?
Yes you can, I had done it once and it It's kind of a pain in the ass. This bird I just used fresh and ground salt and pepper and it was totally perfect and moist. I didn't use any butter on it changed my mind.
Yes. I recommend Tony Cachere's cajun butter blend
Great how too video. I learned the more on the fryer from this video than any of the others. Thanks. P.S. Can't believe you guys don't like the dark meat.
Thanks for the nice review I appreciate it. I can eat chicken legs but when I was growing up and my mom would bake turkey dinners for Thanksgiving or Christmas, we'd either throw away or give away the legs add wings to anyone who came over.
Darn , I really was hoping that tray was for woodchips . Do we baste food in oil prior to cooking , hence the frying part ?
Yes you can wipe it down with olive oil or butter prior to putting the turkey in the fryer. You don't need to baste it during its cooking process.
Thank you just bought 1 and was watching your video
I did put a link to the assembly video that I did 3 years ago. I know it's pretty simple to do but the igniter wire has to go a certain way and I think I point that out on that video if you want to check it out.
Great video my friend! I just got mine all set up. Do i cook my bird on high, Im assuming?
Yes, put the dial all the way to the 🔥 symbol, are you sure to preheat the unit 10 to 15 minutes and if you want put the mesh lid on the last 5 minutes of preheating.
If it's cold outside or windy you may have to let the temperature probe get to 170° to 175°.
Thank you for such a quick response! Happy Thanksgiving!!
@@tonyrpacheco08 TH-cam to Tony.
Is it safe to put wood chips at the bottom?
Sorry I do not know, I'm sure a smoker box would be fine, but it will get covered with the drippings
Wow, you look like Chuck Norris! You kicked that turkey's butt!
Thanks, it took me 6 days to eat all white meat, too bad I had to throw out the rest of it.
I truly mean no offense but this might be the whitest Turkey I’ve ever seen (just salt and pepper, no brine, no dark meat?) but you have successfully demonstrated that even with the barest of minimums of prep it still can cook a decent bird. Thank you for your service 🫡
No offense taken, when I go to a Mexican restaurant I ask them for white boy salsa. Cuz I am so white, even ketchup is too spicy for me.
Awesome video but your knife could’ve been sharper and I hope you aren’t licking your fingers like that when preparing turkey for people who aren’t family. Do you brine your turkey or season it with any another flavor profile’s besides salt and pepper?
The turkey 🦃 was too hot to cut, and this turkey was all for me... Took a week to eat it all
I love my Big Easy - Turkey, Wings, Kabobs, Prime Rib
I just ordered the flavorizer, I'm going use that next
I saved this to watch later today and will watch your set-up video as well, thx! Fred Meyer/Kroger chain store had the Char Broil Oil-less Turkey Fryer on sale for $99 so I bought one after reading positive reviews. Mine doesn't say "Big Easy" on the box, though . . . Is there a difference?
Thank you and I appreciate it. Be sure to hit the subscribe and like button. I'm cooking another turkey right now. It is a Butterball 14.3 lb fresh never frozen turkey think it was 40 bucks I can't remember. Fresh is best I think, But a properly frozen and thawed out turkey can be as good. The one I'm cooking today I will definitely let cool This turkey cool down fully before cutting it apart.
@@HowtowithPaulHenderson Is there a difference between a Char Broil Oil-less turkey fryer and the Char Broil Big Easy oil-less turkey fryer? The one I bought doesn't say Big Easy anywhere.
Has anyone used this with the turkey breast down? If so how did it turn out?
@@bpri9880I did cook a turkey breast in this fryer more than a few times and it turned out great but as for a whole turkey, It works out best to do it the way that I did it in the video, with the legs at the bottom and you spread them open. Plus by doing it the way it was in the video any blood or juices that's inside the cavity will drip out during the cooking process.
@@HowtowithPaulHenderson ok, thanks for the advice. I was thinking i wanted to try it “French” style. I’m thinking I can still do it I will just tie up the legs.
I love mine so easy , but what if I put turkey in smoker for hour or two and then move it to the big easy wonder how that would taste?
I don't see why you wouldn't be able to do that I bet it would taste pretty good.
I just cooked my second turkey yesterday and it taste good.
Nice tutorial Paul of your "Big Easy Oil-Less Turkey Fryer ", you can send me all your (dark meat), lol.
Dang it. I already tossed it up Sorry.....😁
How does this do with cooking a Turkey breast?
I think I did one I don't remember..... You should cook perfect down at the bottom of the basket. There shouldn't be any cold spots down there.
Can you inject the turkey with cajun seasoning
Yes you can, Cajun a little too spicy for me but I bought one of those injector kits, found it a pain in the ass to use and clean.
"fat ass little bird" 🤣🤣
I just picked one up brand new on marketplace for $50, being that oil is now $50/3 gallons! We're running a test to ight with a small chicken. For Thanksgiving I'm going to be smoking birds until 140° then finishing them off in the Big Easy. Thanks for the video, great job!
You are going to love it, and there will be no oil to drip, spill or dispose of. I had a deep-fried turkey once about 3 years ago, It was good but tasted like fried chicken not a turkey
@@HowtowithPaulHenderson I've deep fried my turkeys for nearly 20 years (kind of laugh at these safety videos where they basically shoot a 3 pointer into the hot oil and use that as a cautionary tale, like who does that?). With oil having over doubled in recent years I couldn't pass up this deal.
What are the liners you mentioned
They're foil pans that fit inside the pull out drip drawer at the bottom of the unit. You can buy them in charbroil.com they come in a five pack and you can also buy them on Amazon The Char-Broil one's coming to five pack and I believe you can buy some other ones that might come in at 12 and a 20 pack
@@HowtowithPaulHenderson ok thanks
3:48 Stovetop Stuffing sir 😩 You have a warped sense of humor. At least I hope you were kidding 😂. 4:02 pause 😒 What are you doing to these turkeys 🤣💀 Thanks for the comprehensive review. 👍🏽👍🏽😄
I do like stove top but, I'll make my mom's stuffing that she would make for turkey dinners every year.
Her recipe is:
You make a bowl of mashed potatoes as you normally would and let cool a bit.
Cut up a small stalk of celery.
Dice up a medium yellow onion.
Toast a cheap loaf of white bread and cut that into cubes.
Dump everything into the bowl mash potatoes and mix it all together.
Some people think it sound gross but trust me it tastes great.
Just got one at my local Lowe’s on clearance only paid $51
Wow. Awesome deal....
Academy Sports has this fryer for $99. I just bought mine last week.
I think Amazon also had it for 99.00 or 113.00 with a cover
Thanku for your vdo
damm it i just got one. great job
Alright, I got to finish your video that you posted on the Facebook page about my burned one. 🥲. That bird of yours was beautiful. The Big Easy does a great job very close to what a real deep fried turkey is like.
The Big Easy is convenient and economical I use mine frequently and about once a month all year long to cook turkeys. I also smoke at least one turkey a month, and actual deep fry in real oil right or nine turkeys a year. I have deep fried turkeys since Clinton was president. I have never once had a fire like you have shown here.
Probably because you followed the directions and didn't put a frozen turkey 🦃 in the fryer. I've read stories of what people did wrong and if they would have read the introductions maybe it would not have happened. I also read that the oil fryer is not UL approved.
I’ve watched a lot of TH-cam videos about the Big Easy, yours is on of the best. Great job, especially the time lapse. I own a SRG( Smoker roster grill), it holds a 23 lbs Turkey with room to spare. Both fryer’s are excellent.
Thanks for the update to video.👍🏼
@@ZERUS1648 I have both, the Big Easy OLTF and The SRG.
Great job, just stop licking your fingers and touching the food.
Hi Paul, can ya use injected marinade in this?
Stop eating it,Ha HA!!Question, If you don't like dark meat, why not just buy a breast only? Great Video it looks awesome!!
I've made both a whole turkey and a turkey breast, there is just something about the taste by cooking a turkey and not just the breast. It might just be my imagination.
"Don't like dark meat"....Maybe don't like flavor??????? lol good video man. About to cook the very 1st Thanksgiving Turkey without the anxiety!
Sorry for late reply. You'll love the oil-less turkey fryer...
lol..great job. anyone who has ever cut a hot turkey, knows you wanted to say more than S.O.B LOL
I did not think 🤔 It was going to be that hot. I should have known 10 minutes wouldn't be long enough or to cool down.
You leave out that oil is getting expensive for frying too!!😂
I just looked on the Ralphs app and it is being sold on sale for $50.00 for a 3 gallon bucket and then where do you store it until next year.
2 hours of using The Big Easy may cost a whopping $2.00 max, so yes The Big Easy is the only way to go.
Someone should invent a cage that unlatches and splits apart. Would make it easier to get the bird out.
That is a great idea....
Tuck the wings and use a Serrated knife for even smooth cuts
Yes, my problem was I didn't let it cool down enough.... I'm cooking another turkey tomorrow morning and I'm going to make sure I let it cool down properly. Couldn't wait since I was doing the filming
Overall a pretty good video, but my favorite part is towards the end when he burns his hands and say "SON OF A BITCH" 16:05 minute mark...
It took me 8 days to finish that turkey off, and yes it It was very hot... It was son of a b**** hot
Good video,but get an electric knife for carving and let it set for awhile. Send me that dark meat,I love it.
thanks, yes an electric knife would have made cleaner slices. Plus is was still way too hot to cut.
Video is 19 minutes longer than it needed to be bro.
I'm a talker what can I say. I know I do ramble on sometimes actually a lot of times.
You should’ve left out the part about the dark meat.. Electric knife
Jesus! The way you hacked that thing… 😮….. as soon as he said he throws the legs and wings AWAY I shoulda known better! Go with the masterbuilt indoor fryer…. Much better bet.
I know it's a shame that I throw them away, but it just grosses me out
Don’t eat at this guys place… talk about finger licking good
I did lick my fingers, 🤤 and they tasted good.
Paul you can butcher and I mean destroy a turkey with the best of em, lol.
I sure can, it was too hot to cut the correct way. After the filming of the video, I did go back to the turkey and trim of the rest of the white meat from the bird. I had turkey for 8 days and I had it for breakfast and dinner or lunch every single day until it was gone. I just bought another 15lb Butterball to cook on Monday the 21st. I do love turkey....
The thigh on the turkey It's the best part😁
That's what everyone tells me. I just cooked another turkey I did cut the thigh meat off so I'll give that a shot see if I like it.
I'm a breast kind of guy, But I'll give the thigh meat a chance.
Great video just bought one off face book market place 40$
congratulations, I just bought a 15 lb. butterball turkey to fry soon and maybe film another video on.
