Heat avocado oil over medium to medium-high heat in a heavy bottomed tall dutch oven or similar pot. Heat oil until it reaches 325º. We recommend you use an instant read thermometer or candy thermometer to check the oil temperature.
Place 3-4 pieces of chicken in the pot at a time to fry, being careful not to overcrowd so that the oil temperature stays consistent. Fry, flipping once around 10 minutes, until the chicken reaches at least 165º, about 15-20 minutes depending on the specific cut of chicken.
Place chicken on a plate lined with paper towel to drain the excess oil and season with salt.
Before placing more chicken in the pot, check the temperature to make sure it is 325º. Adjust the heat setting to maintain the temperature and when ready add more chicken.
Fry until no chicken remains. Serve immediately.
If making the Hot Chicken let the frying oil cool 5-10 minutes. In a small bowl whisk spices together. Add one cup of avocado frying oil to the bowl and whisk to combine. Brush hot mixture on to both sides of the chicken and serve immediately.
