Reviews
I see people saying it’s not good but I think yall forget to season to your liking even when following someone else recipe
I loved these! I noticed on one of the reviews that barbecue sauce should be in the recipe somewhere. So after frying them I heated some bottler sauce and drizzled it over a couple. It was good, but I preferred them without. I also liked the crispness of the breading. The addition of the corn starch and baking powder made a difference I believe. I will use this flour for all my fried meats from now on.
Flavorless and uninspiring. The four and five star reviews are perplexing.
Good
These were the best fried ribs we have ever had and believe me we have tried so many different recipes. Thank you for this recipe. Delish!!!!
Added some of my own extra seasonings. Once I put bbq sauce I put in oven for about 15 mins….IN LOVE ! Will make again
Can you use a deep fryer instead of skillet?
Is butcher grade and coarse ground the same type of black pepper? Thanx for your response
I just made these tonight for the 1st time and they were amazing! Thanks for the recipe! I will definitely be adding this to my list of great recipes.
I would have never thought to fry ribs. They were delicious, and I will make them again. I would love to have the bbq sauce recipe.
