• 4 cups Peanut oil (for frying)
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 2 eggs
• 8 ounces Abita Strawberry Lager

• 1/2 Tbsp Sea salt
• 1 Tbsp Slap Ya Mama Cajun seasoning

Instructions

 

• Set smoker at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Clean, dry the ribs and remove silver skin from back side of each rack. Add generous amount of rub on both sides. Smoke ribs with pecan or hickory wood for 2 hours. DO NOT WRAP IN FOIL.
• Allow racks to cool, then cut ribs into singles. Double dip each rib into egg/milk/beer wash, then the fry mix (dry ingredients), lightly dredging.
