    Hey Big Willy, I got a great story for ya. One time I was changing the oil in my old '97 Chevy Cheyenne. It was somewhat windy that day but not too bad so I decided to proceed. As the used motor oil was draining and while I was still under the truck, a big gust of wind blew below the truck. It blew the stream of oil right at my face (my mouth was open at the time too), and a bunch of used motor oil got right in my mouth. It was a disgusting taste and I could not get it out of my mouth for the life of me. The oil just formed a thin film and would not go away. I ended up rinsing my mouth with Dawn and water (which was also disgusting, but hey), and it eventually got the oil out of there. 0/10, not recommend for french fries.

      I had a strange issue on an engine once where I pulled an injector to inspect and oil went down on the piston and my first instinct was to suck it out with a drinking straw then spit it in a bucket. After about the 3rd round I decided I'd rather have to wash the shop vac. -10/10 from me. At least Willy used fresh oil, I was expecting him to drain something first to get some.

    BTW mineral oil is indigestible and a laxative.
    So a few things with oils: If you are frying properly very little oil is absorbed by the food, thus rendering its taste influence pretty minimal. The water in food being deep fried turns to steam increasing the internal pressures. As the steam escapes it is pushing out the oil and creating very thin barrier between the food and the oil (thus the bubbling). Cooking at lower temperatures will impart more taste but that leaves an oil soaked piece of food. Fries that are cooked low one time and finished at a high heat a second time will retain more flavor of the oil from the first frying.
    So a few things on safety: Generally fry in pan that is much deeper than you need to contain overflow. Electric or induction is much safer than an open flame with hot oil. Covering things deep frying will trap more moisture, which you are trying to get rid of. Pat anything being fried dry as water will flash boil and has a high risk of fire or injury.

Frying whole chicken parts with a normal fryer takes a really long time and is actually sort of difficult to do well. The areas near the bone in particular are hard to get to 165 degrees without overcooking the shit out of the rest of the piece. At an institutional scale, usually the chicken is partially fried, then finished in an oven. From my experience at least.

    Long explanation for those who are wanting to learn some more incoming.
    Basically the different oils just have different smoke points (basically when the oil will start burning). The higher the smoke point, the less burnt and crispier the fry will be. Canola and other vegetable oils tend to have higher smoke points which is why they are used in frying. Avocado oil has the highest smoke point but is also more expensive, thus usually confined to the land of stir-fry. Beef tallow is the same as vegetable oil and will give a good fry but most lards made out of other animal fats may not since they have a lower smoke point. Normal butter is not really an oil since it has so much water in it but it also has a relatively low smoke point. Ghee or clarified butter is an oil and has a far higher smoke point and would probably be usable for frying?? Mineral oil has a fairly high smoke point thus it fried well and i'm guessing didnt have any kind of organic matter in there to actually burn if overheated, leading to the lack of burn flavour....
    Now for the motor oil its a different beast. The two numbers are the viscosity index of the oil at low (winter) or high (summer) temperatures. Smaller numbers means the oil will flow better and thus will "boil" at a lower temperature. Interestingly enough, high grade mineral oil has a very low viscosity (represented by a high VI) of 80-100. They do sell motor oils made in this range to remain relatively viscous at high heats (mainly for gears in heavy machinery) and you can probs buy the stuff at a farm supply store. These are going to definitely have additives not made for human consumption though so I cannot recommend frying in them.

    I recognize that Avocado Oil. The reason its so expensive is because its Extra Virgin, this means its more pure and retains more nutrients and flavor because its cold pressed. Another reason being that the Avocado Oil you chose was Organic, which means it was grown without the use of artificial pesticides and fertilizer. Which raises the cost of the product.
