Bone-in Chicken Pieces (thighs/legs/breast)
Temp325–350°F (163–177°C) oil
Time12–15 min
Internal165°F (74°C)
Recommended175–185°F (79–85°C) for thighs/legs specifically
Lower temp than boneless pieces so the inside cooks through before the crust burns. Breast pieces should still be pulled at 165°F — only the dark-meat pieces benefit from going higher.
