Instructions

Begin by preparing the testicles. Carefully remove the outer skin and discard it. Cut the testicles into small bite-sized pieces.
In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika. This will be your breading mixture.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large frying pan to around 375°F (190°C).
Take each piece of testicle and coat it evenly in the breading mixture. Make sure every piece is well-coated.
Gently place the coated testicles into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the fried testicles from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the Rocky Mountain oysters hot as an appetizer or main course. You can enjoy them on their own or pair them with your favorite dipping sauce.
