Like you, I've tried the oven, but prefer the frying pan.

I've heard deep-frying gives good results, but who the hell wants to
bother about that?

If you're already deep-frying the rest of your dinner, why not
deep-fry some dead pig bits as well?

"If you're already deep-frying" implies "me".

Although I'll be the first to say that in this day and age, "If one is
already deep-frying" sounds a little stilted.

You'd make a good oracle.

Much better than tossing a live animal into the hot skillet like
the Japanese like to do.

Oh never mind. They only do that with live seafood and you don't
care about them. Not cute enough to be concerned about.

It's no more bother than any other method, but a very good method when
feeding a lot people. But you need a commercial deep fryer.
