Ingredients

  • 2 dozen oysters (shucked)
  • 1 Cup Whole Milk
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon Louisianna Style Hot Sauce
  • 2 Cups Flour
  • 2 1/2 Tsp Salt
  • Oil for frying (I use Canola)
  • 1/2 Cup Butter (Melted)
  • 1 Tablespoon Cayenne
  • 3/4 Tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 Tsp Salt
  • 1/4 Tsp Pepper
  • 1/2 Tsp Paprika
  • 1/2 Tsp Garlic Powder

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole milk, egg, and hot sauce. In another medium bowl, mix the flour and salt together.
  • In either a deep fryer (I use this one) or a cast iron skillet, heat your oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Take each oyster and dredge it in the flour, then dip in the egg/,milk mixture and then again in the flour. Be sure to shake off the excess after each step.
  • Fry oysters in batches (the big basket in my fryer can do about a dozen at a time), about 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. After frying, place oysters on a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet.
  • To make the Nashville Hot glaze, add the remaining spices to the melted butter and whisk together. Brush on each side of the fried oyster.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!
