Red beans & rice balls

I made a large batch of red beans yesterday, so Mrs Antiquetiger decided to experiment with red bean balls.

First batch she used just a chicken fry batter, they came out damn good.
The second batch she used a box of Jiffy corn bread mix (but did it dry). They fell apart.
The third batch she used both the jiffy and chicken and they were even better than the first batch.
We are serving it with a remoulade style dip.
Next time, we may try using a wet corn dog batter.
