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.
There are several conflicting recommended temperature ranges out there for chicken thighs, so I decided to test them out. I cooked batches of thighs for various times between one hour and 24 hours, at temperatures ranging from 140Â°F up to 180Â°F. Any lower than 150Â°F (66Â°C), and they turn out almost inedibly chewy and tough. Once you get to 165Â°F (74Â°C), timing comes into play. With shorter cooking times, you end up with chicken that is more tender than chicken cooked to 150Â°F and just slightly more dry.
