- Heat the oil over medium-high heat 350 °F (177 °C) in a small frying pan or saucepan.
- Scoop two tablespoons of the plantain batter into the oil, fry 3 or 4 at a time so the oil doesn't get too cool. Once golden brown on one side, flip and fry until golden brown all over.
- Remove from the oil and rest on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Sprinkle with chives, and serve warm.
