deep fried

Cooked in fat

Deep fried describes food that has been cooked by complete immersion in hot oil or fat, as opposed to shallow frying where only part of the food contacts the oil.

The technique produces a crispy exterior while cooking the interior through.

Deep fried foods include classics like french fries, doughnuts, and fried chicken.

The term often carries connotations of indulgence or unhealthiness: Everything at the state fair is deep fried.
