Prepare the Filling:
In a large bowl, mix the boudin sausage, rice, breadcrumbs, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, green onions, and hot sauce. Stir until well combined.
Prepare the Breading Station:
Set up three shallow bowls—one with flour, one with beaten eggs and buttermilk, and one with extra breadcrumbs.
Coat the Boudin Balls:
Roll each ball in the flour, dip into the egg mixture, then coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs.
- Chill the Balls Before Frying – This helps them stay firm and prevents breaking apart in the oil.
- Double-Coat for Extra Crispiness – Repeat the breadcrumb step for an extra crunchy texture.
- Maintain Oil Temperature – Keep the oil at 350°F to ensure even cooking and avoid greasy balls.
- Experiment with Fillings – Try mixing in cheese or chopped jalapeños for a flavor twist.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Fryer – Fry in small batches to maintain crispiness and even cooking.
