If you know what you are talking about please answer. I do not want some 13 year old who has no idea about this subject answering for ratings. I will not rate you if try anyway. Please no chatspeak and &hearts as well. Thank you.
I need some advice on frying. When I try to fry whatever food, it comes out greasy and not crispy. Either it is overdone, or it is underdone. It doesn't matter if it is a chicken, homemade french fries, potatoes, you name it I screw it up somehow. I have been trying for a long time, I just can't seem to figure out how to get it right. I use Olive Oil, Canola Oil, any regular frying oil. I try to keep the oil and about 350 degrees and I don't add too much food to the oil to lower the temp drastically. I do not know if it my technique or if it is the oil I am using. Any advice or tips would help greatly.

OK, so first off, what kind of pan are you using... try a cast iron one if u havent already
But if you're deep frying something in one of those big deep fryer pots, use peanut oil, its a little more expensive but it gets the job done
AND DONT FORGET: before deep frying ANYTHING, put it in the fryer by itself (unheated of course) and fill it with enough water to cover whatever your culinary creation may be haha this will show you how much oil you need, because it is important to not have too much or too little oil.
Don't cover the skillet if you're cooking on the stove, because it locks the moisture in and makes it soggy
If you're breading it, use vegetable shortening or lard (dont use lard if ur watching your cholesterol haha)
For potatoes, your oil must be EXTREMELY hot before frying them
If all else fails, it could be as simple as too much grease
hope I could help

Rock on Connor! That probably has to be the best advice for me yet.
