deep-frying
Hot oil cooking
Deep-frying is cooking food by submerging it completely in hot oil or fat.
The high temperature creates a crispy exterior while cooking the interior quickly.
Deep-fried foods include french fries, doughnuts, and fried chicken.
The method differs from pan-frying, which uses shallow oil: Deep-frying gives the chicken an even golden crust.
