If you like burnt ends, you'll love this new twist Matt Pittman puts on the classic burnt ends experience. Using a blend of BBQ and frying, Matt creates this addictive recipe of chicken fried burnt ends.
In this recipe video, Texas BBQ Legend Matt Pittman of Meat Church takes you through his method for taking smoked brisket burnt ends to a new level by frying them in cubes and dipping them in a special jalapeño ranch sauce that's so good that he wants to "inject it into his veins". If you're serving this at an event, prepare for the lines that will be waiting for more.
