3. Preheat a deep fryer or deep skillet with plenty of oil. The temperature should be about 180 C. If you do not have a thermometer at hand, you can check the temperature of the oil in the following way: dip a wooden spoon or spatula into the oil, if the spoon is surrounded by bubbles, then the oil has warmed up sufficiently. It takes about 5-8 minutes to heat up. Beat a chicken egg in a bowl. Dip each piece of avocado in an egg.
