I haven’t fried anything in the oil for almost 2 months. I used it to fry chicken 2-3 times, but haven’t used it since. It has been covered in the fry-daddy cooker, and not refrigerated.
It is store-brand pure vegetable oil, if that makes any difference.
Is the oil still good to use for cooking or should I toss it?

I tend to be antsy about using 2 month old oil that was last used for meat. I would personally be inclined to toss it.
2 months is too long. I would reuse oil up until about 2 weeks at the most. If it smells weird or has fuzzy floaties then it is extremely old.
Toss it!
There was a study done some years ago about the health risks of reusing cooking oil. Go to google and search: reusing cooking oil. I think you’ll find the articles interesting.
EC — I would not use the oil after 2 months.
Start your next frying with fresh oil when you finish frying strain the oil through a clean piece of muslin cloth clean the fryer and return the oil cover and store for another time. if you strain the oil after each frying it should last about a month.If you use the oil to fry fish or onions you should store it in a container other than your fryer.
If you want to remove some of the oder of fish or onions fry a medium size potato cut in to cubes at a low temp. 250–to 300*F
FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTS.
I hope this helps you jim b
PS. peanut oil is best for frying it can stand the higher heat better but vegetable oil is fine and some what cheaper
