Step 1
Heat oil in a large shallow pan over medium-high until a pinch of flour sizzles instantly (~2 minutes).
Step 2
Mix flour and boiling water in a bowl until a soft dough forms. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
Step 3
Carefully pipe 4-inch churro lengths directly into the hot oil. Fry 2–3 churros at a time until golden brown, about 60 seconds per side.
Step 4
Transfer fried churros to a paper towel–lined plate. Mix sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl, then immediately toss warm churros to coat.
Step 5
Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until smooth. Thin with 1 tbsp hot water if needed.
Step 6
Serve warm churros with chocolate sauce for dipping.
