Instructions

Wash and thoroughly dry the Okra. If using fresh okra, slice off the stem end and cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
In a medium bowl, combine all Coating ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the Buttermilk, Hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce.
Dip the Okra pieces into the seasoned Buttermilk, then dredge in the Cornmeal mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
Heat the Peanut oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully add the coated Okra to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the skillet.
Fry for 2-3 minutes per batch, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried Okra with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately.
