shallow-fry
Cook in little oil
To shallow-fry is to cook food in a small amount of hot oil or fat in a pan, with the oil typically reaching only partway up the sides of the food.
This distinguishes it from deep-frying, where food is fully submerged, and from sautéing, which uses even less fat.
Shallow-frying is common for items like fish fillets, cutlets, and fritters that benefit from a crispy exterior without requiring total immersion.
Shallow-fry the chicken until golden on both sides.
