Deep fried ribs

[SimpleMan]

So over the holidays a family member mentioned seeing a show where baby back ribs were cut into small sections (like chicken wings), breaded, and fried. I looked at recipes on the web , but I was wondering if any of y'all had any experience with this dish.

I'm having a small cookout/get together this week and thought I might try it.

Haven't done them myself but they taste like fried pork chops.

If they get tender, that should be awesome. Post back here and let us know how they turn out.

I'll be smoking a couple butts this day, so I'm contemplating a quick smoke for the ribs, then batter and fry. I'll report back when done.

A good dry rub goes a long way with smoking them too.

i think i would rather save the frying for chicken...

hard to beat a good rack of smoked ribs

And turkeys! I fry 5-7 turkeys between Thanksgiving and New Year's.

I've fried my last two turkeys this past Thanksgiving. I had fried two or three the past couple of years for my in laws get together. I fried two this year and decided to smoke two breasts on my newer Weber Genesis, my first dip into gas grilling. Those two breast came out awesome. No $10 a gallon oil, no real mess and used less gas! I'm gonna try these fried ribs for something different. I think I'll smoke them for about 30 to 45 minutes then fry 'em. I have done wings this way and they were ok, but I think the ribs will be better.

I've got a week off work and a shop fridge full of beer, so they won't be bad I'm sure!

What he says, they were ok, but would have been a lot better slow smoked in usual fashion. I won't be frying any ribs again.

It sounds like it would be pretty hard to keep them from turning tough. And kinda like Wahoo said, pretty much like fried pork chops without as much meat but lots of bone.

They weren't tough. They were marinated overnight and got about 45 mins. of smoke. Battered in House Autry chicken breader and I had the oil kinda low, like 300. Like Wahoo and you said, fried pork chop with little meat and heavy on the bone. Good thing they were just a side dish/experiment. Live and learn. Everything else was great, especially the Miller Lite.
