re: For chicken thigh lovers

I do something similar but pull the thighs when they are around 155. Set aside.

Add almost an equal amount of sugar to the oil and stir until it hits 340 degrees. Add a shite ton of chili flakes. Add chicken thighs, cut heat to lowest possible or off, and constantly stir and move them.

You're effectively frying them in a caramel of their own fat.

It will be extremely sweet, spicy, salty, and savory.
