Instructions



1. To prepare the sauce, whisk together all of the ingredients over medium heat in a saucepan for 1 minute, or until brown sugar is dissolved and hot. Remove the sauce from the heat and let cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow flavors to mingle.
   
   
2. Reheat the sauce in a large skillet over medium heat. Heat the oil to 350 degrees (F). While the oil is heating, mix together all of the ingredients for the coating.
   
   
3. Dredge the oysters in the coating, add them to the hot oil, and deep-fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes.
   
   To serve: Place the oysters in a large serving bowl. Serve the sauce in a separate bowl on the side for dipping, or lightly toss the oysters in the sauce.
   
   Makes 6 to 8 servings.
