tried to make fried chicken, it turned out alright I guess, but man that is some scary stuff. You bring the oil in a pan to about 350 degrees but there is know real way of telling when it is that hot because it does not boil. When making it the whole apartment filled with smoke, my eyes were watering and I was convinced that I was probably going to burn the house down.
The process of putting the chicken into the seemingly calm oil is about the scariest cooking experience I could imagine. As soon as the chicken hits the oil the pan erupts shooting little pieces of oil everywhere. The bubbling oil rises up higher and higher coming closer to spilling over the edge every second, but luckily it stopped right before the top. 
Then once in the boiling oil I let it rest sitting there bubbling for ten minutes until it was ready to flip and then the insanity started all over again.
It some how worked out though the fried chicken tasted good and the mash potatoes and steamed vegetables all tied it together. The meal was then topped of with what else....home-made tiramisu of course, ha.next weird combo lasanga and pina coladas.
