Greasy-faced idiots

Since Talan's peanut allergy everywhere we go we have to ask if they cook with peanuts or peanut oil. If the answer is yes, even if his food doesnt have peanuts in it, then Talan cannot eat there. So tonight we had KFC. Talan loves KFC biscuits but just to be on the safe side my brother in law asked about the peanut oil. KFC's response?

"We fry our chicken so we don't use oil"

Tell me this....how does one fry something without oil?
