Hey guys and gals! I’m gonna fry some boudin balls today and it’s my first time trying it. Does anyone have any tips or recommendations that might be helpful? It’s pork boudin if that makes any kind of difference. Any advice is appreciated, thanks

I put only a little bit of oil and not too hot a temp to where they might cook too fast on the outside and the inside is still cold. Roll them around a bunch to make sure they cook evenly, and stop when the outside is to your liking in color/crispy and the inside will also be hot.

Did you buy the pre-breaded and packaged ones? If so, I’ve actually had better luck with the texture and more even cooking putting them in the oven rather than deep frying.

Also, obligatory Nonk Chauz for your thread.

No I bought the links and took the casing off, I mainly just wanted to try something different besides just grilling them, I squeezed out a lot of liquid from it. I hope that was the right thing to do but I just wonder if they are gonna. I don’t together ok?

Got ya.

Yeah, since breading and making yourself, deep fry might be good. Let us know how they turn out.

whisk a couple egg yolks in a bowl. Dump your boudin in an mix with your hands

spread the boudin out on a sheet pan with your hands and let it come to room temperature

cube some cream cheese and let come to room temperature. Grab a handful of the boudin, put a sliced jalapeño on a cheese cube and form a ball around it. Roll in bread crumbs and then do the rest. Drop in 350-375 oil and fry till GB&D

drain and devour

I've always used a simple egg wash and crushed up saltine crackers for breading.

I also deep fry them, but don't make huge balls so they do heat up thoroughly as they cook.

Dang! I wish I’d seen this before I made them, that’s sounds really good, well I gotta say they turned out great in my opinion, will definitely do again, I chopped up some green onion and cilantro and added a little Cajun 2 step to the mix, they exceeded my expectations which was nice, thanks for the replies

Roll boudin into desired size balls. Place onto a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper, Refrigerate boudin for several hours.

Make an egg wash and set aside. Flour mixture - 2 cups of AP flour, 1 cup of cornstarch, 2 T salt, 2 T pepper, whisk together.

Roll boudin balls in egg wash and coat with flour mixture… double coating is preferred. Place coated BB’s back onto parchment paper and refrigerate 2 hrs minimum to secure coating/binding.

I use a FryDaddy cooker and heat peanut oil to 350 degrees. Use a basket or fish spatula and drop BB’s into fryer. Remove when golden brown and set on a cooling rack. BB’s will look like those from Billy’s … crispy crunchy crust

I do them like most. Egg wash but use unseasoned bread crumbs or sometimes instant potato flakes. My crew likes them.

Use panko bread crumbs. The extra crisp is nice.

Boudin balls are super easy and it sounds like you got it covered with your method.
