and resting, turn the stove to medium heat to slowly warm the oil. use a meat thermometer to monitor the progress; mine took about 20 minutes to reach 350f.
timing will depend on your stove and your pot, but when the oil is between 350 and 375f gently ease two or three pieces of chicken into the oil. at this point the oil should cool to about 300f and stay there while the chicken fries for 10-15 minutes until it’s golden brown and cooked through.
as you fry, adjust the heat up or down as needed to maintain these temperatures, even turning off the heat if needed to let it cool quickly
