When it comes to frying chicken thighs in a deep fryer, the cooking time can vary depending on a few factors, like the size of the thighs and the temperature of the oil. But, as a general rule, you're looking at around 5-7 minutes for a batch of chicken thighs to be fully cooked. That's roughly the same amount of time it takes to bake a cake - not too shabby, right?
Now, you might be wondering what happens if you overcook or undercook your chicken thighs. Well, let's just say it's not a pretty sight - or taste, for that matter. Overcooking can leave your chicken thighs as dry as the Sahara desert, while undercooking can be, well, let's just say not very appetizing.
