   Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed medium stockpot over medium heat, or in a tabletop deep fryer, to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and set aside.

   Add the strips to the hot oil in batches, separating them with a mesh skimmer when they hit the oil.

   Fry, turning frequently, until golden brown, 60 to 90 seconds.

   Remove with the skimmer and drain on the baking sheet lined with paper towels.
