How To Deep Fry A Ham Food

HOW TO DEEP FRY A HAM

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the onion powder, garlic powder, brown sugar, mustard, and apple cider.
• Mix together until dissolved.
• Add oil to the deep fryer, filling the stock pot to three quarters of the way full. Leave enough space so the oil does not overflow when the ham is submerged. Heat until 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Fill the marinade injector with brine and inject the ham in multiple spots to disperse the flavor. Use as much of the brine as possible.
• Dry the ham with the lint-free towel so there is no excess moisture on the ham.
• Cut a slit through the ham and slide the ham onto the poultry wrack.
• Lower the ham into the fryer. Cook each pound of the ham for 7 minutes or until the core temperature of the ham is 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Remove the ham from the fryer and allow the excess oil to drain off. Carve the ham and enjoy!

DEEP FRIED HAM

Steps:

• Thaw ham completely and pat dry.
• (When deep frying moisture on the surface will cause a lot of oil popping and splattering, be careful) Marinade (if using) Inject whatever marinade you want to use into several place throughout the ham (I recommend 10-15 spots).
• Place the ham in the steamer basket that comes with most turkey deep fryers and CAREFULLY and SLOWLY lower the ham into the hot oil (350-375 degrees).
• There is a lot of water in the ham!
• Since I couldn't put it in otherwise you must cook the ham about 3 1/2 to 4 minutes per pound depending on the size of the ham and how much it cools down the oil.
• Obviously a smaller ham will take less time if the oil is hotter and a bigger ham will take longer even with the oil hot.
• If when you start the oil cools down don't worry just watch the temp and adjust your cooking time.
• Also for a bigger ham you would want to use less oil in the deep fryer so it doesn't overflow when the ham is lowered inches.

DEEP-FRIED HAM

Steps:

• In a large plastic tub, place water, cider, 1 cup brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, cloves and ham and stir until dissolved. Place the ham in the brine and refrigerate overnight. The following day, take the ham out of the brine and dry well.
• Fill your turkey fryer with the peanut oil. Heat the oil to 375 °F. *Cook's Note: For a larger ham, use less oil as the larger the ham, the more liquid displacement there will be.
• Place the ham carefully inside the fryer. There is a lot of moisture in the ham, the oil will bubble up intensely, so be careful and lower it very slowly. Cook for 7 1/2 minutes per pound. The ham will be cooked when it is 160 °F inside. Check it with an instant-read thermometer to make sure it is cooked.
• Remove the ham carefully letting it cool off and drain of excess oil for about 10 to 15 minutes.
• Combine juice, pineapple, mustard, 1 cup brown sugar and honey in a medium saucepan on low heat and let reduce until a syrupy consistency.
• Let the glaze cool slightly and then pour it over the deep fried ham. Serve any extra glaze on the side at the table.

• On a plate, place enough flour to cover the plate.

• When oil is starting to sizzle place ham in the skillet.
• Cook until golden brown on both sides.
• Placed on paper towels to drained the excess oil off.
