Add baking powder, cayenne pepper, salt and flour all at once, mixing only enough to dampen the dry ingredients.3 Remove potato chips from the canola oil with slotted spoon, drain on paper towels, and season to taste.4 Coat fish pieces in flour before dipping fish in batter and place in hot canola oil to deep fry. Cook until golden, about 6 minutes. Remove from canola oil with slotted spoon, drain on paper towels.
Special instructions
- Canola oil is a great choice for high heat cooking. Canola oil has one of the highest smoke points of all commonly used vegetable oil at 468 F (242 C), just a couple of degrees lower then peanut oil’s smoke point.
