Kann “Superhands” Trichan got the cool
nickname for his incredible ability of scooping
pieces of chicken from burning-hot oil with his
bare hands.
The 50-year-old Chiang Mai-based street cook
can sink his fingers into 480 degrees hot grease
without getting so much as a blister on his
hands, and his amazing ability has won him
international fame. People from all over the
world come to his “Fried Chicken Iron Hands
Man” food stall to see Kann use his hands to
scoop out the chicken and he and his
wife travel the globe showing off his gift.
Superhands has no idea why he can do what he
does, but he’s just happy it brings more
and more customers for his business, every
day.
Kann Trichan first discovered his unusual
gift seven years ago, when he accidentally got
hot oil splattered all over his body. While
attending his giant woks, he noticed a squirrel
eating a mango on a branch just above him. The
squirrel dropped the big fruit right in the oil
splattering it all over Kann’s body and head. A
taxi took him home and when he got up the
next day ready to go see a doctor, he took a
look in the mirror only to see he had no burns.
The redness was fading away and his skin was
practically intact, so he just decided to go back
to work, to the astonishment of his fellow street
vendors.
From there on, his reputation grew, and
everyone wanted to see the man who survived a
shower of hot oil without a single burn.
Trichan began experimenting and noticed he
was able to use his bare hands to handle the
pieces of chicken in hot oil so he decided to use
it to attract customers. They were loving it and
business was booming. Seven years later, Kann
Trichan is still operating his food stall in front
of the Chang Mai technical college, surrounded
by curious tourists wanting to see his hands
dipped in boiling grease. Kann Trichan also
holds the Guinness Record for picking 20 pieces
of chicken from oil heated to 480 degrees
Celsisus, in just one minute. He says he can feel
the oil is hot when he dips his hands in it, but
it simply leaves no mark.
Scientists have yet to unravel this peculiar gift.
