If you are frying almost anything do not overcrowd your pan, there must be space between pieces.

It makes your dish taste and look better.

Indeed.

Frying is all about keeping temps high. If you've ever had something fried that was greasy, it's because temp wasn't managed properly, so the oil could penetrate the food.

Alton Brown discusses this in a few episodes of Good Eats, like S02E09 Fry Hard.
