Heat cooking oil in a deep fryer.

Boil 2 and 1/2 cups of water in a pot.

Add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil to the boiling water.

Add cayenne pepper and a couple of dashes of curry powder to the chicken.

Coat the chicken in flour, ensuring to drain off any excess liquid or milk used for marinating.

Add the coated chicken to the deep fryer, avoiding overcrowding.

Set the deep fryer temperature to about 400-450°F.

Cover the deep fryer and fry the chicken for 15-20 minutes.

Stir the dirty rice in the boiling water to break up clumps and mix in the seasoning.

Add diced turkey or pork sausage to the dirty rice and stir well.

Replace the top on the pot and reduce heat to medium-low (4 or 5) to let it simmer.
