  • Prepare the Ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to ensure crispy and tender results.
  • Season Wisely: Use a flavorful rub or marinade to infuse the ribs with bold flavors. Experiment with various spices and herbs.
  • Control the Temperature: Maintain the oil temperature at 325°F (163°C) to achieve perfectly cooked and crispy ribs. Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature accurately.
  • Fry in Batches: Avoid overcrowding the pot or fryer. Cook the ribs in batches to ensure even cooking and prevent them from sticking together.
