Nutrition

Per serving · estimated

Our ingredient-by-ingredient calculation disagrees with this recipe’s recorded calorie figure, so one of the two is wrong. The nutrition panel stays empty until an editor re-tests the recipe.

Nutrition is estimated from the listed ingredients using standard reference values (USDA FoodData Central). 4 of 5 matched ingredients use verified FoodData Central entries (dictionary snapshot 2026-09-11). Brand, portion, and preparation differences can change the result. Frying fat is counted at the share typically absorbed, and brines drained before cooking are excluded. These figures are an estimate for general interest, not medical or dietary advice.

Equipment

Deep-fry / candy thermometer

Frying and sugar work both depend on holding a narrow temperature band you cannot judge by eye.
