fryers
Deep-fat kitchen appliances
Fryers are young chickens raised for meat, typically slaughtered at six to eight weeks old when they weigh two to four pounds.
The term distinguishes them from older, tougher birds better suited for roasting or stewing.
A fryer is also a deep cooking vessel for frying food: an air fryer, a turkey fryer.
