What does FRYER mean in Scrabble?
noun
A young chicken raised for frying, or a deep container used to fry food in hot oil.
In a butcher shop a fryer is a chicken small and tender enough to cook quickly in fat rather than roast slowly, distinguishing it from an older, tougher bird sold as a roaster. In a kitchen the same word names the pot or electric appliance that holds the hot oil, whether a simple pan on the stove or a countertop machine with a basket and thermostat.
