First, cook them on medium heat, or they will appear done on the outside but the inside will not be if the grease is too hot. A way to check is when the grease warms, put a pinch of batter in the pot's it starts to bubble like it is cooking, let the heat stay at that temp and batter and drop in the chicken. When the chicken turns golden brown brown, it should be ready. Usually takes ten minutes or so.

Fat used for deep-frying chicken should cover the chicken pieces in their entirety. However, some cooks cheat a little and, planning to turn the chicken once during frying, pour the oil in only halfway. Chicken with breading should be fried at 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a thermometer to check. Thermometers that go up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit are readily available in cookery stores such as Williams-Sonoma, Sur la Table, and A Cook's Table in the US, as well as at nicer supermarkets.

If you don't have a thermometer, a quick test is this: a one-inch cube of white bread without crust should brown in the fat in exactly one minute.

How hot should cooking oil be to cook in it?

It will depend on what you are cooking. If you are wanting to deep fry something then I would suggest try dropping a small dab of your ingredient in the oil to see if it sizzles. If it sizzles then it should be good. Cooking chicken in a skillet with a little Pam should have lower temperature than when deep frying.

How would live maggots be found after cooking chicken?

If they were found on the chicken immediately after cooking and while it was still warm, the maggots probably came from somewhere else and not the cooked chicken. Fly eggs can hatch within 24 hours of laying. If the chicken was left out to cool, a fly could have laid eggs on it then.
