MYTH: The chicken's skin protects the meat during frying.
Scientific Experiment:
1. Boil grease or fry oil in a pan.
For your information oil boils at :
1750 C to 1900 C (3450 F to 3750 F).
2. Get two identical cooking thermometers and wrap one in two layers of chicken skin.
3. Simultaneously insert both
thermometers into boiling oil and see if the one that is wrapped inside
the chicken skin (insulated) remains cool for how long ? If
you can't notice any difference, try again and again and again.
It's a myth.
If chicken skin could insulate against 1750-1900 degrees Celsius heat
of boiling oil (water boils at 100 degrees Celsius), all the coats in
the world, would be made of chicken skin and the chicken could happily
swim in boiling water - instead of dying in excruciating pain in
seconds.
