That depends on the dish - a Wiener Schnitzel for example should be able to move freely in the oil (because it should be kept moving while frying), or the breading will be pretty underwhelming. Same goes for most stuff with breading. I always try to be very conservative in my cooking oil usage, but in those cases it’s just not an option.
Have you every heard of the method of cooking called frying?
Sure, but not usually with enough oil to pour out of the pan after cooking.

Ooh that makes sense, and I want schnitzel now.
