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 Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Moisten each piece of chicken with a little water, then dip in the dry mix. Shake off excess and dip in the wet mix, then dip in the dry mix once more.  Carefully place the chicken pieces in the hot oil. Fry for 15 to 18 minutes, or until well browned.
