Yes, you can fry chicken in coconut oil! It can take the heat! From coffee creamer to lip balm, coconut oil is widely acclaimed for its multitude of uses. Because it can withstand high temperatures, coconut oil is also a great alternative to vegetable or olive oil when cooking and frying your favorite foods. The key to a successful frying session is to make sure the oil is hot enough and that you have plenty of it.

Instructions
- Fill a deep fryer or cast iron skillet all the way to the fill line with Coconut oil and set it between 325 and 375 degrees Fahrenheit. To make sure your deep fryer or cast iron skillet is accurate and that the oil is hot enough, use a candy thermometer.
- Place chicken pieces in the skillet or deep fryer and do not crowd the pan. Cover the pan. Fry on one side for about 8 minutes until you see it turning browner, turn and fry the other side until it's browned up about another 8 min or so. Keep an eye on it. The smaller pieces will cook faster. Uncovering for the last few minutes makes the chicken a bit crispier.
- Remove fried food from pan and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to soak up excess oil. I place it in a 350-degree oven for about 15 minutes. Consume once it's cool enough to safely eat.
