Fluid mechanics, especially fluid dynamics, is an active field of research with many problems that are partly or wholly unsolved. Fluid mechanics can be mathematically complex, and can best be solved by numerical methods, typically using computers.
Pan-Fried Chicken. The two main keys to making perfect fried chicken are the temperature of the oil and the actual step of frying. Choose oils with a high smoke point: vegetable shortening, lard, and peanut oil are all good choices. 1  To get truly golden-brown and crispy chicken, use a cast iron skillet. 2  You canât beat cast iron for even heat distribution and reliable frying.
1 When browned, reduce heat and cover skillet; let cook for 30 minutes (the chicken will be cooked through but not crispy). Remove cover, raise heat again and continue to fry until crispy.  Drain the fried chicken on paper towels. Depending on how much chicken you have, you may have to fry in a few shifts.
