olive oil and deep frying
Question
Hello,
I enjoy deep-fried chicken. I use virgin olive oil exlusively for deep-frying. Calories aside, is it ok for my health? Is olive oil appropriate for deep frying?
Thank you
Apostolos, not many people use olive oil for deep-frying b/c it doesn't have a very high smoke point (peanut oil is used often and is a monounsaturated fat). I won't ever say that fried foods are ok for someone's health when the healthier option (baked, broiled, etc.) is so much better. The calories alone are usually doubled when a food is fried.
Take care,
Jen Birge,RD
