In a large pot or Dutch oven, pour in the peanut oil to a depth of 3 inches for deep frying. Heat the oil to 365-375°F, monitoring the temperature carefully to avoid overheating.

Using a slotted spoon, remove the cooked nuggets from the oil and place them on a wire rack or sheet pan to cool slightly. Do not use paper towels, as the nuggets may become soggy from steam.
