Preparation

1. 1.

   Drain the testicles and let them cool slightly. Peel off the tough outer membrane and discard it.
3. 3.
   Slice the testicles into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

   In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

   Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 350°F (175°C).
6. 6.
   Dip each testicle slice into the flour mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated.

   Carefully place the coated slices into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Bull testicles — It's important to blanch the testicles before peeling to make the process easier. Make sure to remove the tough outer membrane completely for a more enjoyable texture.

Tips & Tricks

• For an extra crispy coating, you can double-dip the testicle slices in the flour mixture before frying.
• Adjust the spiciness of the dipping sauce by adding more or less hot sauce according to your preference.
• Serve the Rocky Mountain Oysters immediately after frying to maintain their crispiness.

Serving advice

Serve the Rocky Mountain Oysters hot as an appetizer or main course. Provide the spicy dipping sauce on the side for guests to enjoy the combination of flavors.

Presentation advice

Arrange the golden-brown Rocky Mountain Oysters on a platter and garnish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, for a pop of color. Place a small bowl of the spicy dipping sauce in the center of the platter for easy access.
