fry

A fry is food that's been cooked in hot oil until crispy and golden brown. This can be a snack or part of a meal.

You often hear people talk about frying foods at home when they cook something like French fries, fried chicken, or even doughnuts. When you're cooking for others, it's helpful to know how long different things need to fry in order to come out just right. For example, if you're making breakfast and want to fry some eggs or bacon, you might need to adjust the heat based on what you're frying.
