  3. Step 3: Skewer the Lit'l Smokies - Insert skewers into each Lit'l Smokie.
  4. Step 4: Dip and Fry - Dip each skewer into the batter and fry in hot oil for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown.

Notes

  • Ensure your oil is at the right temperature for frying.
  • Adjust batter consistency with more liquid if too thick.
  • Fry in small batches for even cooking.
