I love thunder and lighting, it’s so relaxing for me, reminds me of the power of God

[@Vintage_USA_Tech]

WOW you solution to fry okra is simply genius!

[@dianemcquay8460]

Ummmmm, I miss Church’s 🍗, a bite of chicken, a bite of jalapeño, and a bite of biscuit...heaven!! Thank you for the okra recipe 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👩🏾‍🍳👩🏾‍🍳👩🏾‍🍳

[@jordanr1215]

Fried my first batch of okra with your vid playing by my side. Thank you! Learned so much 💕

[@suzannebailey9267]

This vid was JUST what I needed for a family meal this weekend, thanks so much! Speaking of just what one needs, look for powdered buttermilk in your grocery's baking aisle. It's shelf-stable for a year until you open it, and then keeps in the fridge for monnnnnnths. 4 tablespoons powdered buttermilk + 1 cup water = 1 cup of buttermilk so close to fresh that you can use it to make buttermilk pie without telling the difference... and no carton of leftover buttermilk taking up space in your fridge until you finally guiltily throw it out! The buttermilk pancake recipe on the back of the Sacco buttermilk container is AMAZING and has been my go-to since I discovered it in the 90's. Thanks again for this how-to!

[@CalibamaCookingwithChefLorious]

Sis…thank you so much for this. Funny thing, I made a buttermilk pie last week. Why? Trying using up some buttermilk so I didn’t have to throw it away. Imma definitely check out the powder. 👩🏽‍🍳♥️

[@suzannebailey9267]

@@CalibamaCookingwithChefLorious you're oh so welcome! Definitely try that pancake recipe on the back of the container. Oh yeah, and buttermilk powder can be a real lifesaver for some recipes when you realize too late that you're out of regular milk. Hugs!!!

[@suzannebailey9267]

@@CalibamaCookingwithChefLorious OMG. They came out SO. GOOD. It was a group campout chicken-fried-steak dinner with friends where we each contributed something, and lady... everything was great because we're all good cooks but those fried okra were the best part by FAR. Everyone swooooooned at their first bite! And it was easy to do while camping, too! Thanks again and huge hugs from Texas

[@KRHavins]

Thank you!!! This was the best fried okra video I’ve found and you’re so fun to watch. Keep em coming!

[@ialwaysshine.]

I’m glad you did the video with the thunder in the background. It reminds me of home 😌.

[@Wbharrington]

Lol that definitely is southern made. They don’t have thunder like that up north.

[@ryytooflyy]

I WAS JUST GONNA COMMENT THIS LOL I felt safe after I heard that thunder

[@CooperDog746]

First video I’ve seen from you and it was great! Love the cooking and love your kitchen

[@phbeach]

So glad I watched your video! I had some beautiful okra to use and I haven't fried it in years. Your method of draining off the liquid in the strainer was a big help!

[@jeffreynobles948]

Yes!!! A southern woman making southern fried okra!! Just like my Mom used to make. Thx for the recipe!!!

[@francesowens1985]

Churches still has the BEST okra here in central Arkansas

You are awesome. Obviously an educated smart woman that knows how to cook. Thank you for this! I guess I’m the only white guy that loves fried okra. God bless. Great job they look delicious.

[@alec4780]

Thank you chef!! I’m gonna shock my auntie the next time I see her with a batch of this ❤️

[@thatbaldfisherman4980]

"That's not Okra, that's some fried stuff" lmao love itttttt

[@jtrude]

Thank you. I have fond memories of my grandmother going out to the garden picking okra and frying it up. I'm trying your recipe tonight. Nice musical reference to the Isley Brothers by the way....more memories.

[@CalibamaCookingwithChefLorious]

I love memories with my family too…and the Isley Brothers make it even better. Enjoy the okra 👩🏽‍🍳

[@FenrirInFlowers]

This is perfect! Was trying to explain fried okra to a friend from across the pond, and you make it like exactly what I grew up with. Having that Tony Chachere's in the flour is a must! Planning to make some tomorrow.

[@franklyweather3803]

Can’t wait to try! Growing okra here in NJ. First had this in the USAF while stationed in Mississippi.

[@jennyponix5366]

I made this with fresh okra it was amazing; my Mom always uses the frozen. I couldn’t tell a difference. I had my portion and some of my husbands too. LOL Have a blessed day!

[@shanasmith7264]

That looks so good I want some

[@jessiealdridge834]

I love southern food. Fried okra is the best comfort food in the south. It's great soul food to. And have with cornbread to.:)

[@hirmf]

Thank you for uploading! I’ve been wanting to eat fried okra for the longest time. I moved out of ATL 10 years ago to NY and I miss southern foods I can’t wait to share with my daughter.

[@CalibamaCookingwithChefLorious]

Enjoy it!

[@Nabila65NL]

Thank you Chef Lorius. I will be following you from the Netherlands. I just love your accent 💕💕💕

[@CalibamaCookingwithChefLorious]

So glad you’re here. Enjoy the videos and recipes 👩🏽‍🍳

[@robertlee7392]

I've loved fried okra since my boyhood years in Alabama. I thought my grandmother's was good, but I just tried your recipe, and WOW! By far the best I've ever tasted! Even though I'm not much of a cook. Crisp and tasty! I can't wait to make it for my Kentucky friends. Thanks, sister!

[@thefoolishhiker3103]

I haven’t had fried okra in years. It’s heavily ingrained in my childhood memories because of Furr’s Cafeteria. We would go there after church and I absolutely loved the fried okra. Watching this recipe brought on a pleasant nostalgic feeling. Now I need to try making it.

[@florabamabelle6413]

Thanks for making plus love the thunderstorm noise!

[@otate1]

Absolutely love this! I have a black desk that is identical to this. I was going to toss it and buy a white one but decided to keep it after this video! Good job

[@heather_bot]

[@barbaratolefree6409]

This is the first time I've tried a recipe that really worked. The crust stayed on the okra and it did not even come off in the skillet. Thank you so much for this. Love it and will use it all the time for fresh okra.

[@CalibamaCookingwithChefLorious]

That makes my day! So happy it was yummy. 😘

[@ThisAdventureFamily]

Awesome 👏

[@woollyfae]

Wonderful

[@jramjohn7429]

Oh my word, never tried making it but this video is sending me to the grocery tomorrow

[@patc.318]

Hi Chef Lorious! Fried okra...it's a culinary delight in a class all by itself! To add another layer of flavor, I add some hot sauce to the buttermilk in which I soak the okra in addition to seasoning the flour-corn meal mixture . Thanks so much for another video! ☺

[@melvinatlas8753]

@Nasir Emmanuel It worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thank you so much you saved my ass !

[@nasiremmanuel2388]

[@CalibamaCookingwithChefLorious]

Us church kids gotta stick together!! Glad you enjoyed the video….hope you make the dish!!

[@meditationmamaoraciones]

Yummy yummy 🤤 lol thank u I love okara fried boiled any kinda way

[@Eranthis]

The thunder just makes the video extra cozy. 👍

[@annehunt787]

Thank you for this! I never ate okra growing up so I never really knew how to cook it without the slime.

[@gusgusfl]

This is the first time I’ve heard thunder in a video, I liked it…feels super cozy and perfect for cooking inside!

[@CalibamaCookingwithChefLorious]

IKR…I love a good thunderstorm!!

[@Thequietone974]

Quincey’s here in Virginia had awesome orca , I cooked it because I worked there but had never tried it. I was addicted immediately 😂

[@Zeropatience1]

Just wanted to say that this is the best fried okra recipe and thank you for sharing it. Truly appreciate it! I have been using this recipe for the last 2 years since I found it and shared it with my mom last year and she makes this recipe now as well. God bless, have a wonderful day and again thank you for sharing. :-)

[@CalibamaCookingwithChefLorious]

Wow, thank you!

[@merquiadessanchez8185]

Here in Dominican Republic, I've asked a lot of people if they have had fried okra and not one single person has ever said yes. I just bought some to make tonight. There's no Tony Cacherie's so it will just have to be salt and pepper. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!

[@CalibamaCookingwithChefLorious]

You’ll be the Fried Okra King!! Add a little cayenne to your seasonings to give it a little kick!

[@pizzaparty9783]

I can't wait to try this! Thanks for posting! BTW, I'm from the US living in India right now and I put Tony's on everything! And I have no clue how you pronounce it but I brought it with me anyway! Hahaha! I'm still loving this thunderstorm! ❤️

[@CalibamaCookingwithChefLorious]

Enjoy your time away. So glad you got your seasoning before you left. That may be your lifeline!

[@pizzaparty9783]

Please record during a thunderstorm!!! I love and miss them! 😊

[@CalibamaCookingwithChefLorious]

Funny thing is, I love thunderstorms… when I’m inside. They’re calming to me.

[@CS-zh2cs]

Ma'am, I love to cook, and follow a lot of KZbin channels for cooking. I was just given a gallon bag of fresh okra, and love fried okra, but I could never get it to turn out well. I'm subscribed and absolutely am going to dig through your other videos, you have a great personality and explain your process very well. You spoke to my heart and mindset of what I feel about okra, I have tried to use it in soups and gumbo, but it was always just too much. Thank you, seriously.

[@CalibamaCookingwithChefLorious]

So glad you’re enjoying my channel. Enjoy and thanks for subscribing!!

[@hope5360]

YUM!!!! Ranch dressing for dipping. 😋

[@carriekimble2994]

This is the 1st video I have seen of you and I'm in love!!! LOL not hitting on u. Love your ENERGY. You have rules of thumb I guess that I need to go back and find. Thank you so much for sharing. I have a pretty decent garden going this year so I have been learning how to store and prepare all these fresh veggies. I have a feeling I'm addicted to u already! Have a great day.
