What Temperature Oil for Frying Chicken
Have fun. Fried chicken is messy. It stains your counter. It makes your hair smell like heaven for a day. That’s part of the charm.
You will burn your tongue. You will probably eat three pieces before dinner. That’s fine. You earned it.
So heat that oil to 350°F. Drop in the bird. Listen to the crackle. And know that you have just done something beautiful. You are a temp-wielding wizard.
Now go fry. The world needs more crispy people.
