Yeah, I've never heard of using extra virgin olive oil to deep fry food before, either. Not a good idea. By the way, what is with the camera coming into view now and then?
Olive oil is very poor for frying due to its low smoke point. Canola is just as "healthy" for this application. It helps explains why your "beautiful golden brown" is almost black. Also "chef", you started with just over a cup of oil and ended up with just under a cup. So the fact that you used a1/4 cup or so of oil to fry 4 chicken thighs is nothing extraordinary.
Skinning the chicken before batterig it reduces the saturated fat, but I still prefer frying without any grease.
