[VIDEO] Indian Hawker Dips Hand Into Boiling Oil-Filled Wok To Fish Out Fried Chicken Like It's No Biggie
Hands up: how many of you jump back and scream in horror when oil splatter onto your hand while you're cooking?
Well, we have a feeling that this hawker in India does not do that ever.
'What is he?'
A short video clip showing the man dipping his bare hand into a wok filled with burning oil without a flinch has taken social media by storm.
The 15-second video, which was taken by Instagram user @nonvegfoodie, shows the man casually dipping his hands into a ‘kadhai’ (cauldron) to fish out the chicken he had been frying.
“Does his hand not burn? He dipped his hand in boiling hot oil to take out the chicken,” read the caption.
According to @nonvegfoodie, the video was taken at Ali Chicken Centre in Jaipur.
Check out the video for yourself:
The man's extraordinary skills had netizens puzzled, with many left wondering how the man could dip his hands into a wok filled with boiling oil without getting burned.
“What is he!? Iron man? He doesn’t melt at all. Impressive!” commented user @neharanipas.
"Whatever he uses to perform this of trick looks impressive & fancy cause not everybody can do that without crying a hell so he deserves an applause," user @kalidon1504 commented.

Another Instagram user, @rimuruu._tempest, has a simple explanation for the man's extraordinary feat.
“He first wet his hand’s with water, then he can dip easily in boiling oil. It’s naturally a reaction of breaking down water atoms where hot oil takes time to burn his skin,” he wrote.
Whatever the explanation may be, we feel that the hawker have hands made out of steel.
