Chicken Fingers

Trichan Kann has a unique skill, in fact he is a world record holder. The Thailand native can reach into boiling oil with his bare hands and come away uninjured. He has been doing this for about 7 years, since an accident that splashed him with hot oil and caused no damage to him. Afterwards he started trying out his new skill and now works that way all the time, usually with an audience. Pulling chicken from 480 degrees Celsius boiling oil, pretty impressive!

There are more pics at the link, with his hands right in the oil. Amazing that he never gets so much as a blister.

Well he consistently does the trick just right then and that is pretty skillful too.

Mythbusters did this and, yes, there is a "trick" but it's pure physics. No, I don't remember all the details and I ain't got no PhD!
