I know this is a bad idea but I want to know parameters. Is ONE ice cube okay? Or say 2 ounces of ice, but not 3? How big could the splatter get? Could I make a party game out of putting a fryer in a driveway and having guests throw ice cubes at it?
Ice is more dense than oil, so it sinks to the bottom of the fryer. There it turns into liquid water anathema immediately into steam. This steam needs at least 1000 times more space than the ice cube (1700 times more than water under normal pressure) and blows all the oil out of the fryer. I would expect quite a fountain. In a science fair experiment 10ml of water in a cup of hot oil gave a considerable fireball and a splash zone of about 1.5m. Dropping in a piece of dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) just made a little bit of a fizzle.
I mean sure, if you want to give your friends 3rd degree burns. A single ice cube is gonna throw oil a few feet. Explosively.

Zero ice cubes is the correct amount.
Sprinkle a few drops of water in hot oil, or even just on a oven burner. See how it pops? Now imagine a lot more suddenly going from ice to vapor. It's explosive, and some hot oil is going to be thrown out on anyone in range.
The splatterhere isn't the issue anymore, it's that this amount of ice is going to bubble up so bad that the hot hear is basically gonna foam up and boil over, spilling hot grease all over the floor.
A couple of ice cubes will splatter. But how many to create this situation? I'm not really sure.
