Specs:
I've actually done what you're asking for with a chest freezer. I bought a PID thermostat, like this.
Then I replaced the thermostat in the fridge with the PID thermostat, that thermostat had a chiller output and a heater output (and heater could be configured to use the internal relay so I didn't need to use a second SSR). I connected the chiller to the compressor and the heater relay to an outlet box. The heater was just a reptile heating pad I plugged into the box and threw into the fridge, but that was a little on the low power end, I'd probably use a ceramic heater if I had to do it again. Also, all the PID controllers seem to be sold with a K-probe, those are no good, they don't measure below 0C, and the thermostat needs swing, so I needed to keep the set point over 2C to get it to work (which is not terrible). I ended up buying a PT100 probe which works well.

PID I got from Amazon. Inkbird. $40. Works great.
Nothing fancy. Inkbird PID controller off Amazon came with a type K thermocouple and SSR. I chose this heater because at some point I'll build a bigger still and the same company has 240V heaters with the same electrical connection, so it'll be a drop in replacement since the PID controller is powered by 100-240VAC. Also got the triclamps on Amazon
the safest way would be to use something with feedback. there are a decent number of kiln controllers that will control the temperature for you.
