Defied rep's order - like fish and chips? (4-5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deep-fried

'like fish and chips?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'defied rep's order' is the wordplay.
'order' is an anagram indicator.
'defied'+'rep'='defiedrep'
'defiedrep' with letters rearranged gives 'DEEP-FRIED'.

(Another definition for deep-fried that I've seen is " like some Glasgow chocolate bars?".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
