Had some of these at Willie's and they are really good.

My question is, what do they coat the ribs with before frying?

Is it just seasoned flour or some other type of batter? Or do they just toss the smoked ribs into the hot oil?

Corn starch cooled wings, ones that were either braised or smoked. Very light coating. Shake it all off then drop it in oil.

There was a fried rib submission to the Rib Challenge a while back. Here's a link to the post.

I don't know anything about Willie's, but a lady who works for my Mom makes fried ribs that are delicious. She cuts the uncooked ribs individually and puts them in a plastic container. She covers them in Tony's injection liquid. I think she uses the creole butter one. She seasons that mixture with more onion and garlic powder and some cayenne. They sit at least overnight.

She takes them out of the marinade, but doesn't dry them. She puts them in flour seasoned with onion and garlic powder, salt, cayenne and dried parsley and fries them. They're so delicious.

Here's a pic of some she fried.

We just season them & put them in the oil less fryer
My Grandma did hers in a small amount of oil in a cast iron skillet
We have never used flour

Was my favorite meal that she cooked for me
Fried ribs, homemade biscuits & Blackburn’s syrup

That was muy sub and I love to cook them like that. I haven’t had them just straight fried that will pull off the bone easy and clean that’s why I like SV them for so long. I’d imagine if I smoked them to almost completion I could also fry them for some clean pulls, I have experimented with it much. I can prep them this way and freeze them to just thaw and fry later.

Some free advice...don't smoke then fry. I attempted fried ribs about 3 weeks ago for the first time. Smoked them for about 2 hours first then let rest, sliced, battered and fried. They were good but not like holy shite(!) good. A friend and I both agreed that they would've been better without the smoke flavor.

Weird, I know. They were nice and tender though. My next attempt will be to fry them at a lower temp for longer.

I may try some not smoked one day but we like the little bit of smoke they pick up.

Are they tough to eat? I would think you would have to cook them down some.

Could you cook them on low in the oven for a couple of hours then marinate them overnight and then fry them?

Would it screw them up to get hot, cool off, then get cooked again?

Would it make the meat bad somehow? I have never tried something like that.

Not at all. Sort of like fried pork chops on a bone, but more tender with the fat. I think the marinade must tenderize them to some degree. These are not "fall off the bone" ribs, so if you want meat falling off the bone, this method isn't likely for you.

Lot's of good info in this thread and the linked thread. Can't wait to experiment with this.

I've had them on multiple occasions and not found them tough at all. Maybe give them a try and see what you think.

I like simple and they come out tender. Cut your ribs into individual bones, season with favorite bbq rub and coat with seasoned AP flour. Deep fry until golden brown. Usually 12-15 minutes. I like a little bbq sauce on mine. Good stuff.
