Whoa, Momma, Fried Green Tomatoes

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup hot sauce
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 dash grill seasoning
• Salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 cup panko bread crumbs, or as needed
• 2 green tomatoes, sliced

Directions

Put hot sauce in small dish for dipping. Mix flour, brown sugar, grill seasoning, salt, and pepper in a separate small dish. Beat eggs into milk in a third dish. Pour panko in a fourth shallow dish. Arrange dishes in a line, respectively.

Dip one side of each tomato slice in hot sauce. Press each side of tomato into flour mixture to coat; dip into milk mixture. Gently press tomato slices into panko to coat. Arrange coated tomatoes on a baking sheet. Refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or a cast-iron skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Fry tomato slices in hot oil until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
