My dad's one comment about my oil temp changed my whole fry game

He said my chicken looked like it took a swim, so I finally bought a $12 thermometer and stopped trusting the 'wooden spoon trick' after burning my third batch of fries last Tuesday, has anyone else ruined a whole pot of oil this way?

Wait, how long were you heating that oil before you dropped the fries? Because I've seen people leave it on high for like 20 minutes and then blame the thermometer when it's really just impatience. Dry the chicken really well next time too, that's what usually makes it look like it took a swim more than the temp.
