Use an outdoor propane fryer or an indoor electric fryer. 2  Heat the oil in the fryer and put the turkey breast into the oil for frying. 3  Cook for 4 to 5 minutes per pound. 4  For example, a 5 pound (2.26 kg) turkey breast will cook for 20 to 25 minutes.
Roasting a chicken does not take quite so long as roasting a turkey, however a large chicken could still take over 2 hours to roast. As a general rule, calculate a cooking time of 20 minutes per pound of meat plus an additional 10 - 20 minutes at a temperature of 375ÂºF (190ÂºC). Therefore, a 5 lb chicken will need to be roasting in the oven for at least 1h 50 mins. A 5 lb bird will serve between 4 - 5 people.
