Tips & Warnings
Serve with coleslaw, french fries or green vegetables. Oil contains fat, but to keep from eating too much fat, use extra virgin olive oil. Letting a paper towel soak up the grease also removes the fat content and greasy taste.
Oil can burn when hot or cause a fire when hitting a flame. Be careful.
