Fried Spiced Candied Pecans

All around New York City you will find these carts that sell candied nuts that have been deep-fried to crispy perfection. I used to buy bags of them on my way to one of the many kitchen jobs that I had before I owned BarBacon. Now, I make my own, and in addition to snacking on them and washing them down with a cocktail, I use them in salads, main dishes, and desserts.
