Some of the best tasting food in life is always deep-fried, like these deep-fried peanuts that my helper just made. I love peanuts plus deep-fried food (who doesn’t?), so this is a fabulous combination for me. In Singapore, peanuts are usually cooked with ikan bilis (or anchovies) and served in a Nasi Lemak dish with sambal chilli. I prefer just to eat the peanuts alone.
Deep Fried Peanuts Recipe
Ingredients
A bag of raw peanuts
Salt to taste
Vegetable oil
Directions
1. Deep fry peanuts in oil till golden brown. Dish it out and place it on kitchen towels.
2. Sprinkle salt, mix and serve during dinner or eat it as a snack.
(or store in an air-tight container for consumption later)
Yes, it is that simple. I love eating it with rice and other Chinese dishes during dinner. It really adds the crunch factor.

Hi,
I love these. My dad’s business when I grew up in Georgia was a buying point for peanuts – basically a middle person between the grower and candy company.
During Christmas, he’d make these gift baskets for customers and included fried peanuts that they had grown. He would get 100 lb. bag of raw shelled peanuts and fry away. They were so good.

I just picked up a bag of “Uncle Buds” Garlic Deep Fried peanuts in Chattanooga, TN. They’re amazing, because they’re still in the shell. The shell becomes delicate and easily edible this way. Now it’s high in fiber, and the healthy factor counters the fried-unhealthy factor. I reccomend trying them – there is no website for this company, but he’s got an email address on there at unclebudspeants@gmail.com. Good stuff.

Uncle Bud’s has a website! http://unclebudspeanuts.com/
I agree, their peanuts are amazing. I first tried them at a Gander Mountain store, and ordered a case directly from Uncle Bud.
You do have to print an order form and mail it in (they don’t have online ordering yet), but they ship promptly.

Must the raw peanuts be soaked in water (hot or cold?) first? I tried frying but the peanuts ended up burnt and hard…. did not soak? not enough oil?
January 14, 2011 at 1:40 pm |
At room temperature is fine.
Make sure the oil is at the right temperature too, before adding the peanuts. You can try adding a couple first in the oil, to test it out before adding the whole batch.
All the best!

I can fry them up pretty good…..I salt them as soon as I get them on the dishtowel….BUT the salt doesn’t stick it ends up in the bottom of the bag, I store them in.
Would kosher salt stick better?
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi Cindy, normal table salt should do the trick. Before you eat them, best to give the bottle a good shake so the salt is distributed evenly again.
You can also ensure that the oil is soaked out well using your dishtowel, before salting it.
Hope this works.

At what temperature did you fry your peanuts on. Ours just burns
and tastes awful. And how long do you fry them?Do you soak them in water first?
March 7, 2011 at 10:46 am
Hi Beverly
We fry it when the oil just about start to bubble, throw in one peanut to try it out first, before throwing in a batch. Ensure the oil isn’t too hot, not sure about the temperature as I didn’t measure it.
Nope, pls do not soak them in water or they’ll not be able to fry properly.
Hope this helps!

I’m impressed, I need to say. Actually not often do I encounter a weblog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you could have hit the nail on the head. Your idea is excellent; the problem is something that not enough people are talking intelligently about. I am very blissful that I stumbled across this in my seek for something referring to this.

Once you deep fry peanuts.
How long and how can you store them?
What are the safety issued when cooking them for large groups.
Can they be cooked and stored a couple of weeks ahead of time
