fried foods

Deep-fryer output

Foods cooked by immersion in hot oil or fat until crispy and browned.

The category includes classics like french fries, fried chicken, doughnuts, and tempura.

Frying creates a distinctive texture—crunchy exterior, tender interior—and rich flavor that makes these foods popular despite health concerns about fat content: The doctor told him to cut back on fried foods.
