You've heard of popcorn chicken and zucchini fries but have you tasted the joys of fried okra bites?  Okra is used extensively in southern cooking (i.e. gumbo) and this recipe is a delicious way to enjoy this vegetable. Slices of okra are coated and deep fried until golden brown.  Serve your crispy okra bites with Sriracha mayo for maximum pleasure.
