Making General Tso's chicken tomorrow. Has to be deep fried of course, but I've got a pic related that I plan on using. It's worked for fries, but I've never used it before on something that is as delicate bacteria-wise as raw and breaded chicken.
For 1-inch cubes of chicken, double breaded and all, how long should it take? I don't plan on buying a meat thermometer if I don't have to. They're supposed to fry at 350 but I can't trust the thing enough to be consistent.
When they look done cut into the middle of one. If it's still pink inside put them back in for another minute.
Just use dark meat or you'll risk overcooking it and ending up with a piece of rubber.
>delicate bacteria-wise
Well aren't you a fucking snowflake?
Set it halfway between 350 and 375. You'll be fine.

So 362.5?
I bet you type 130 into your microwave instead of 90.

The fryer allegedly "automatically regulates the frying temperature" which is what causes my skepticism
>Aren't you a fucking snowflake?
Don't want to give myself and the girl food poisoning.

It sets the temp to 350, which is around double the temperature of what you're supposed to cook chicken to...

Dont buy shitty chicken and youre risks will approach zero.

buy a meat thermometer, they're not expensive and should be able to make use of it often. I'd suggest an oil thermometer as well since i can guarantee that shitter won't be accurate. You can get by without accuracy but keep in mind the end result may vary.

How fucking retarded are you by chance?
Cook it all the way through and you'll be fine, 4minute 30 seconds should be plenty
