Ingredients
1 package frozen whole okra (16 ounce) thawed
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 cups all-purpose biscuit & baking mix
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
1/2 teaspoon chipotle chile pepper powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions
  1. In medium bowl, combine okra and buttermilk; let stand 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. Remove okra from buttermilk using a slotted spoon; coat in pecan mixture. In batches, carefully drop into hot oil.
  5. Fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from oil with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining okra.
