1
Prepare the Ingredients
Start by slicing the okra into 1/2 inch pieces. Set aside.
2
Set Up the Breading Station
In one bowl, place the all-purpose flour mixed with salt and black pepper. In a second bowl, add the beaten eggs. In a third bowl, combine the cornmeal with some additional salt and pepper to taste.
3
Bread the Okra
Dip each piece of okra first into the flour, then into the eggs, and finally coat it with cornmeal. Ensure all pieces are well-coated.
4
Fry the Okra
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded okra in batches, frying until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
5
Toss in Buffalo Sauce
Once the okra is fried, place it in a large bowl and pour the Crystal Buffalo sauce over it. Toss well to coat all the pieces.
6
Serve
Serve the Buffalo okra hot with bleu cheese dressing on the side for dipping.
