SOUTHERN FRIED OYSTERS

Steps:

• Oysters: In one bowl, mix the saltines, flour and cayenne pepper. In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Dip the oysters in the egg mixture, dredge thru the flour and place on wax paper. Pour at least 5 inches of oil into a cast iron Dutch oven and heat to 375 degrees using a candy/deep fry thermometer throughout the process. The key to perfect oysters is maintaining the oil at 375 degrees. This means don't cook too many oysters at a time and watch your thermometer closely. The more oil you use the greater the heat sink you create and the less the temperature will drop (i.e. don't skimp on the oil). Fry oysters until golden brown, turning once. Place on paper towels, then serve immediately. Remoulade Sauce: Place all ingredients in a mixer and blend. Refrigerate.

SOUTHERN FRIED OYSTERS

Steps:

• For the dipping sauce: In a smal bowl, combine the Vidalia Onion Peach Grilling Marinade and sour cream. Mix well and set aside.
• In a small bowl, place the flour. In a second small bowl, whisk the egg and 3 tablespoons of the hot sauce. In a third small bowl, place the panko. Dredge the oysters in the flour shaking off any excess. Dip the flour dredged oysters in the egg mixture. Shake off any excess and roll oysters in the panko being sure to completely coat. Place on a baking sheet and place in the refrigerator while oil comes to temperature.
• In a heavy skillet, heat oil to 325 degrees. Add the breaded oysters and fry until golden brown about 1-2 minutes. Drain on paper towels and immediately sprinkle with kosher salt. Serve warm with the spicy dipping sauce.
