Ingredients
- Canola oil for deep frying
- 2 pounds chicken thighs with skin and bones, small to medium-sized
- 1/2 cup margarine (you can use butter if you prefer)
- 3/4 cup Frank’s Red Hot Sauce
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- In a deep fryer, heat the oil to 375°F. Deep fry the chicken thighs for 13 to 20 minutes, depending on their size, until they reach 165°F. When chicken thighs are done, remove them from the fryer and transfer to a wire rack.
- While the chicken is cooking, make the sauce by combining the margarine, Frank’s RedHot Sauce, white vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat and stir until all is melted and incorporated.
- Place the cooked thighs into a bowl and pour the sauce over them. Thoroughly coat the thighs with sauce, and serve immediately.

Notes
- You can use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven if you do not have a deep fryer. Use a thermometer to check the oil temperature and keep it at 375 degrees.
- Size Selection: Choose smaller thighs for faster cooking and better sharing
- Temperature Control: Maintain 375°F oil temperature
- Batch Size: Don't overcrowd the fryer
- Doneness: Always check the internal temperature
- Crispiness: Let excess oil drain properly before saucing
