Excellent marinade! We decided to forego the ham this Easter and try a deep-fried turkey instead. I chose this recipe based on the amount of good reviews and the reviews couldn't have been more accurate! The marinade was easy and muy delicioso! We followed the recipe exactly and used it on a 20-pound turkey, which still had tons of flavor even though the original recipe called for a 12-14 pound turkey. The turkey did come out looking like a charred bird, but I expected this from what another reviewer wrote. My oh my, was it good! Everyone loved it! They all want to replace the cooking method we usually use with this one for Thanksgiving. Terrific recipe! * If you've never deep fried a turkey before, I highly recommend watching some YouTube videos on this cooking method. We felt better prepared in case of an emergency and we were better prepared on how to use the fryer properly.

This was good, but not great. Worth trying, I don't think you will be disappointed, but I've had better.

OMGoodness!! This recipe is perfect! This is only my second time frying a turkey. The first one did not turn out well.. I decided to try again, using this recipe. Reading the recipe instructions, I couldn't fully believe I could have a moist turkey without injecting it with something. This turkey is moist through and through. The day after frying this delicious turkey, I warmed some leftovers (very few) in the microwave. The meat was still moist and tasty! I went out and purchased another turkey to fry, using this recipe! I followed the instructions exactly and I had a turkey that was the best I'd ever had! My fried turkey search is over! Thank you, thank you, thank YOU!!

This is the EASIEST recipe I've EVER tried! It gives the turkey the best flavor. Will continue to use every year.

Used this recipe last night to fry my first turkey at a tailgate party. It was FABULOUS! It didn't turn out "black" as others have mentioned. It was juicy and delicious and the skin had a great spice to it. Only comment I have is I would probably 1/2 the recipe next time. A lot of spice was wasted.

I was skeptical, but tried it because of the other reviews. This was incredible, juicy, moist, and not spicy! This is the only way to have turkey, I promise. I don't think I will ever be able to eat a baked boring turkey again.

Very good and easy. Do not be alarmed by the color. It's supposed to be that way.

This is a great recipe. The turkey came out really juicy and definitely not too spicy. The marinade was too thick for the injector so I rubbed it under the skin and in the cavity and it came out great.

It was definitely too spicy and peppery for me. I think this is because we also injected the mixture into the turkey. I would NOT recommend injecting the turkey. It made thick channels of turkey that was so spicy that it was not edible.
