Recipes with
a little sizzle.
Big battered fish, craggy fried chicken, crunchy onion rings, fritters, cutlets, and more. Choose a method, clear a little counter space, and get the oil on.
Lacy-edge fried eggs
A hot pan, a little oil, and the most satisfying golden fringe.
Crispy smashed potatoes
Craggy edges, soft centers, and plenty of room for salt.
Golden chicken cutlets
Thin, even cutlets with a crisp crumb that stays put.
Crispy chili tofu
A simple, deeply crisp base for a fast savory-sweet glaze.
Quick vegetable tempura
A light batter and small batches keep vegetables delicate, not heavy.
Pub-style fish and chips
Bubbly beer batter, thick chips, and the sort of crunch you can hear.
Craggy buttermilk fried chicken
A peppery, shaggy crust with crisp little ridges in every bite.
Proper crunchy onion rings
Big sweet onion rings in a bubbly, seasoned batter with smoky dip.
Lemon pan-fried fish
A light flour dusting protects tender fillets and builds a crisp finish.
Zucchini fritters
The trick is squeezing the water out before the pan ever gets hot.
Weeknight fried rice
Separate grains, hot pan, and a smart order of operations.
