This is the method which I've settled upon:
1) Fill a 7 Qt. pot with 1 gallon of either Canola or Peanut oil (or a blend of these two).
2) Heat oil to 350 degrees F.
3) Carefully and slowly add 4 pieces of seasoned flour coated Chicken.
4) Reduce temperature setting whereby to maintain 300 degrees F. throughout.
5) Deep Fry Thighs for 17 minutes, Breasts and Legs for 15 minutes, and Wings for 13 minutes.
No oven finishing required.
On the largest burner of my induction range I heat to 350 degrees using a setting of 9.5 (out of 10 max). Then I drop the burner setting to 8 right before dropping in the four mixed Chicken pieces. This never fails to sustain 300 degrees F. for the duration of the cooking time.
For breasts only, cook 2 or 3 (size dependent) instead of 4 at a time. For Thighs only, cook 3- 4 pieces. If cooking only legs up to 5- 6 pieces can be added at a time. I've never cooked wings only, but I'd guess that perhaps about 8-10 may be cooked at a time.
NOTE: 350 F. ~= 177 C., and 300 F. ~= 149 C. (Call it 175 C., and 150 C.)
