Difficulty: Easy

Prep: 50 minutes

Cook: 20 minutes

Total: 70 minutes

Serves: 4

Ingredients

3 lbs Kountry Boys Kajun-Style Boudin

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tsp Cajun seasoning

2 cups panko breadcrumbs

2 large eggs

¼ cup milk

2 cups vegetable oil (for deep frying)

Method

In a small bowl, whisk flour and Cajun seasoning. Add breadcrumbs to another small bowl. In a third small bowl, whisk eggs and milk to combine.

With wet hands, shape boudin into golfball-sized spheres. Dredge the balls in flour, then dip into egg wash, letting the excess drip off. Next, dredge the balls in panko breadcrumbs, turning and pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere.

Transfer boudin balls to a plate and chill for at least 30 minutes.

Heat vegetable oil to 350 degrees in a skillet with high sides or a deep fryer. Line a baking sheet with a wire rack and paper towels. Working in batches, fry until golden on all sides, three to four minutes. Remove from oil and let cool on drying rack for five minutes.

Serve immediately with Remoulade sauce.

Cajun Roots, Texas Flavor

Boudin is a staple in Cajun cooking, especially in Louisiana and East Texas. It’s a mix of pork, rice, onions and spices stuffed into a casing — smoky, hearty and full of flavor. Turning boudin into fried balls takes it up a notch, transforming an already tasty sausage into a crispy, poppable snack.

And when you start with Kountry Boys Kajun-Style Boudin, you don’t need much else. The seasoning’s already perfect — you’re just giving it a golden crust and a reason to hit the fryer.

How to Serve Boudin Balls

These little bites fit right into almost any occasion:

  • Game Day Food – Serve with ranch or remoulade and a pile of napkins
  • Party Appetizer – Easy finger food that keeps the crowd happy
  • Cajun Feast – Pair with gumbo, jambalaya or étouffée for a full spread
  • Backyard Hangout – Fry ‘em up while the grill’s going and keep the beer cold

Flavor Variations

  • Spicy Cajun Kick – Add cayenne or hot sauce to the dredge for extra heat
  • Cheesy Twist – Mix shredded cheddar into the boudin before rolling
  • Tex-Mex Style – Serve with queso or salsa instead of remoulade
  • Mini Snack Size – Roll them smaller for bite-sized party snacks

Tips for the Best Results

  • Chill boudin balls before frying — it helps them hold their shape
  • Don’t overcrowd the oil — fry in small batches for even cooking
  • Keep oil at 350°F for the crispiest crust
  • Let balls drain on a rack instead of paper towels to stay crunchy
  • Serve hot — they’re best right out of the fryer
