What! My deep fryer is part of my estate! Most of my estate will be
hauled to the dump in a medium dumpster.
Having said that, I do know how to deep fry in a skillet. I do it
rarely. The volume of oil that it takes puts me off, since I know I
won't be deep frying again for longer than the oil will last in the
fridge.
Perhaps, that's why my fried chicken sort of sucks in a eighth inch or
less of oil. I know better, but I won't change my method. My silly
method makes for great chicken gravy.
