CHICKEN FRIED JALAPENO POPPERS

Steps:

• Completely combine cream cheese and any grated cheese you like, here is an awesome cheese, veggie mixture I like to use to stuff jalapeno poppers https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/appetizer/appetizer-cheese-appetizer/best-darn-cheese-filling-or-spread.html?r=19. I had leftover cheese mix so I used it as a dip for chips, no loss!! You could also spread on bread and make a grill cheese sammie with the leftovers, if there are any.
• (The photo is sweet mini peppers, but it illustrates the way to slice off the "top" of the pepper) Slice top off of jalapenos lengthwise. Stuff with cheese mixture pushing cheese down and firmly packing it in jalapeno. I let mine sit in fridge uncovered overnight to allow the cheese to harden up some. Save the "tops" you slice off and bread and fry them as well, they make great jalapeno fries!
• Lightly flour, then dip in an egg and milk dip, then generously flour again packed the flour to the pepper.
• Deep fry for about 7-8 minutes till brown. Time will vary depending on size of jalapeno.

JALAPENO POPPER DEEP FRIED

Steps:

• Fry the bacon in a saute pan until crispy. Let cool slightly and then crumble.
• Mix the cream cheese, shredded cheese, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and crumbled bacon in a bowl. This mixture will act as the stuffing for the deep fried jalapeno poppers.
• Cut the stem off of each jalapeno, cut them in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds.
• Take about a tablespoon or two of the jalapeno popper stuffing mixture and fill each jalapeno half.
• Working on one jalapeno pepper at a time, briefly dip the pepper into the milk and then roll it in the flour to coat. Set aside and repeat with all the jalapeno poppers. When deep fried the flour will form the crispy outside that mark many jalapeno poppers.
• Once you have completed step 6 for each pepper repeat it again, starting with the driest peppers.
• In a dutch oven, large pot, or deep fryer heat the oil to around 365 degrees.
• Carefully place several of the jalapeno poppers into the oil, being sure not to over-crowd it. Let the peppers cook until the outside is a golden brown, normally about 3 minutes. Remove with a strainer or slotted spoon and let dry on a wire rack.
• Serve the jalapeno poppers with ranch dressing or sour cream.

• Layer jalapeno poppers inside of the preheated air fryer and cook until bacon is browned and cheese is melted, 10 to 12 minutes.
