Chicken-Fried Ribs

These chicken-fried ribs offer a delightful twist on classic barbecue fare, trading the traditional sticky glaze for a crisp, golden panko coating. This high-protein dish transforms tender baby back ribs into a crunchy, succulent snack or main course that feels truly indulgent. The contrast between the seasoned, breaded exterior and the juicy pork underneath makes this a favourite for those who enjoy a bit of texture with their meat.

To balance the richness of the fried ribs, they are served with a refreshing dipping sauce made from soured cream, mayonnaise, and grated cucumber. This chilled accompaniment provides a cool, tangy lift that cuts through the savoury notes perfectly. Whether you are hosting a casual weekend gathering or looking for a hearty homemade treat, these ribs are sure to be a conversation starter at the dinner table.

Ingredients for Chicken-Fried Ribs

  • About 1450ml vegetable oil

  • 2 racks baby back ribs (about 450g each), cut into ribs

  • 40g plain flour

  • 3 large eggs, lightly beaten

  • 350 to 425ml panko (Japanese bread crumbs)

  • 120ml soured cream

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

How to make Chicken-Fried Ribs

Preheat oven to 93°C.

Heat 3/4 inch oil to 163°C in a deep 12-inch skillet over medium heat.

Meanwhile, season ribs with 3/4 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Put flour, eggs, and panko in 3 separate shallow bowls. Dredge ribs in flour, then coat with egg, letting excess drip off, and panko.

Fry ribs in batches, turning once, until golden brown and cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes per batch. Transfer first batch to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet and keep warm in oven. (Return oil to 163°C between batches.)

Stir together sauce ingredients. Serve ribs with sauce.
