Heat the oil in a deep-fryer. When you are ready to cook the chicken thighs, heat the oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius). 1  Use an instant-read candy thermometer to monitor high oil temperatures.  A deep-fryer works best, but in a pinch, you could also use thick metal stockpot with tall sides.
The FDA doesn't really account for the fact that the breasts cook slower than the thighs. Turkey experts like Butterball recommend cooking the breast to 165ÂºF and the thigh to 180ÂºF. The key number is the breast temperature, so stress less about the thigh temperature (as long as it's over the 160ÂºF ballpark). And, if you really want the juiciest white meat possible, factor in carry-over cooking. America's Test Kitchen says to pull the bird out of the oven at 160ÂºF, since the residual heat from the meat will raise the temperature to 165ÂºF as it rests for 15-20 minutes (but no more than 30).
