- Use a deep-fry thermometer to ensure the oil is at the right temperature (around 375°F) before frying the batons.

6. Repeat with the remaining batons.
7. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
8. Fry the batons in the hot oil until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
