Cook the Cakes
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the crab fried chicken cakes in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
