And the work nobody shows lol

I am not very good at deep frying, and made some mistakes. Probably I could do these in my oven pretty well. Magnificent spicing to the batter, never paying for overpriced and bland nuggets again.

    I think I deep fry at home like once or twice a year max because it’s a pain in the butt. But the output is always so nice and evenly crisp in a way you just can’t replicate through baking. Inevitably I come back to the conclusion that the effort-health-reward tradeoff isn’t quite worth it on a regular basis.

    I’ve got to say, though, those look frickin delicious, and I’m a bit jealous. :)

      Yeah I go years without doing it, then get into a craze and do it maybe 5 times in 3 months and then get sick of it.

      Generally stuff ends up too oily for my tastes but the texture is always unbeatable.

      I need to have a good play with my oven and find the best way to cook crispy stuff with it.

        Every try in an air fryer? I just can’t be bothered to do any actual frying with oil these days. I save my fried food consumption for when I’m out with friends and the only vegan option is French fries or tots 😂

        That being said, what’s that sauce you got going on in the pic?

          Air friers are just convention ovens so yes given that my oven is a convection oven :p

          The sauce is in the recipe book. I think it’s an excellent book and would encourage you to have a look at his website/get his book. Idk I feel weird copypasting stuff since writing books is extremely hard and the recipeblog industry isn’t exactly known for it’s reliable income.
