It is a medium-high to high heat cooking process. Temperatures between 160–190 °C (320–374 °F) are typical, but shallow frying may be performed at temperatures as low as 150 °C (302 °F) for a longer period of time. [1]
As a form of frying, the technique relies on oil or fat as the heat transfer medium, [1] and on correct temperature and time to not overcook or burn the food. [2] Pan frying can serve to retain the moisture in foods such as meat and seafood. [3] The food is typically flipped at least once to ensure that both sides are cooked properly. [4]
Deep frying food is defined as a process where food is submerged in hot oil at temperatures typically between 350 °F (177 °C) and 375 °F (191 °C), but deep frying oil can reach temperatures of over 400 °F (205 °C). [19]
The densest areas of the chicken are the best places to measure temperature. Examining the breast, thigh or leg will give you the most accurate reading. 165 Degrees
Fried chicken, also called Southern fried chicken, is a dish consisting of chicken pieces that have been coated with seasoned flour or batter and pan-fried, deep fried, pressure fried, or air fried.

Carryover cooking (sometimes referred to as resting) is when foods are halted from actively cooking and allowed to equilibrate under their own retained heat.Because foods such as meats are typically measured for cooking temperature near the center of mass, stopping cooking at a given central temperature means that the outer layers of the food will be at higher temperature than that measured.
