Fry the Mozzarella Sticks
Carefully place a few breaded cheese sticks into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.

Drain and Serve
Using a slotted spoon, remove the mozzarella sticks from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
