In a large bowl, combine all Riblets ingredients and toss to coat.
In a separate bowl, whisk together all Breading ingredients.
Dredge the riblets in the breading mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
In a saucepan, combine all Sauce ingredients. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the breaded riblets in batches for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove riblets from oil and drain on paper towels.
Toss the fried riblets in the BBQ Sauce to coat evenly.
Thread 3-4 riblets onto each skewer. Serve immediately.
