Caroline Manzo Has a Deep-Fryer Built Right into Her Kitchen Counter

Sunday pasta is a tradition at Caroline Manzo's New Jersey home. But every now and then, her family switches up the menu to include a different type of comfort food — one that makes use of Caroline's in-home deep fryer. 

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 14 premiere May 5th at 8/7c on Bravo and stream next day on Peacock.

In a recent Instagram post, The Real Housewives of New Jersey alum shared the action in her kitchen on a weekend afternoon. "Fried chicken Sunday with [Chris Manzo] at the helm," she wrote, referring to her pizzeria-owner son.  In another post, Caroline showed chicken sizzling away in a fryer, and followers had some questions. 

"You have a [frylator] built into your counter???" one fan asked. Caroline confirmed that she does, indeed, responding with a simple "yes" and a thumbs-up emoji. 

The deep fryer wasn't the only thing Caroline's post revealed. She also shared the recipe for Chris' fried chicken, which has a rather nonstandard coating. "Bread that chicken!" she said. "Chris, what'd you coat it with?"

Chris responded: "We got a little cayenne, flour ... Fritos, Funyns, salt, white pepper, black pepper, and, uh, one more thing." But really, what more could one want than Funyuns?
