Looks so good!!
I can understand why oil would work so much better than water, even though the oil never touches the chicken.
Is there a risk of fire with the oil so hot? Seems like somewhere I read that oil will ignite at like 4xx F degree with the "xx" depending on the type oil.

Thanks for the research!
I was thinking of all those home inventors who use chicken fat and used cooking oil to fuel their automobiles, so figured it it would be just a bit warmer than diesel fuel or kerosene before responding to a spark by igniting :) Understandably, auto-igniting would be a bit higher.
We had one frying-pan fire when sizzling oil splattered and the pan went to flame when it was ignited by an adjacent burner that was cooking something else.
In the panic to extinguish it, I didn't stop to check the temperature :)
Ever since, have been hesitant to watch a pan of oil either sizzle or smoke.
:) Tomorrow morning's bacon will be at 410 degrees F rather than 385!
