Chronicles of a Deep Fryer: Episode 1

his is the first of what I hope will be many updates on the delicious things that come out of the deep fryer Seamus got me for V-day. The pride I have in these simple snacks is so overwhelming that I needed an outlet.

First up: Avocado Fries.



These are A.MAZ.ING. Basically, you take avocado slices, bread them in panko and deep fry them for like 45 seconds. They are crunchy on the outside and creamy and nutty on the inside and you will want to eat them until you burst.

Next: Chicken Nuggets.



These are not your run-of-the-mill frozen chicken nuggets. I make these from scratch by cutting up and breading chicken tenderloins. I learned a sweet-ass tip from Paula Deen: add like a tablespoon of dijon or spicy mustard to your eggwash. The difference in flavor is subtle, but fucking awesome. Also, I like to use saltine crackers instead of bread crumbs because they are crunchier.

Ah, now I am hungry. And I need to get to my homework. Next into the deep fryer will most likely be oreo cookies and pickles. Pregnant ladies everywhere are green with jealous rage.
