Deep Fried Spares

[HogGrog]

First time for me, learned about it here and finally did it. Very glad I did, they were super moist and flavorful with a perfect crunch!

It started with a Costco 3-pack of spares on the offset, dry rub only, nekkid until done, fired with oak and almond wood. Served with bbq beans and a salad.

The next day I separated ribs from a leftover rack and dredged them through flour (with Bbq rub), egg, and panko while heating oil in an unmarked, single-notch, number 7 Lodge cast iron pan (from the 1920’s that came from a mine in Nevada owned by wife’s Grandfather).

The spares were deep fried in canola oil for about 2 to 3 minutes then flipped, another few minutes until golden. Drizzled with an MSU concoction of Chinese stir fry sauce, rooster chili sauce, mustard-based Bbq sauce and a big heap of homemade Maine blueberry jam. Sliced green onions on top. It was pharkin great and want to make more ribs just for this! Thanks.

Thats awesome. I also appreciate the CI info. Every time I see a pic of a pan I am left wondering....Ci addiction is real

Nicely done! I've only seen 3 packs of baby backs or St. Louis style in So. Ca.

Thank you. And, yes Collecting cast iron is very addicting. I have a heavy metal problem!

That looks real tasty
Everytime I hear of deep fried ribs I want to go back to Bali
They use cornflour as a dredge

Thanks, Titch. I may try cornflour in the future but I really liked the panko crunch!

THANK YOU!!! I have been wanting to do this for a few years now. I have 3 bones from yesterday in the fridge. I know what I am doing tomorrow. Hope they turn out as good as yours.

Those ribs look good. They bring back some great memories. My mom use to fried ribs along time ago. They were delicious.

I always grill/sauce my leftover ribs but fried has always been on the horizon...Now it's gonna happen sooner than later.

Your spare ribs look great!
I'll sometimes slice CSRs into strips and coat in seasoned flour
and deep fry.
Some mighty fine eatin'.

Thanks. Hmmmm, deep fried CSR’s. Do you smoke them first or straight into the pool?

[cholloway]

I've done both ways.
If you smoke them 1st, leave them a little under-cooked
to finish up in the oil.
