FRIED JALAPENOS

Steps:

• Set them aside in a bowl.
• Bring cooking oil to 350°F. Use a deep pot or fryer.
• Using a small strainer dust flour (pretend you are small scale sifting) over the jalapeno rings to coat them with flour. Alternatively, place the flour in a bowl and add a heaping handful of jalapeno rings at a time to coat well with flour. Work in batches either way.
• Add each batch of flour coated jalapenos to the cooking oil and fry until they begin to turn golden. Remove immediately and drain onto a paper towel lined plate.
• Allow to drain for half a minute before sprinkling with hops (or other flavored) salt.
• Proceed with coating the next batch with flour and ensure that the cooking oil is at exactly 350°F before frying them.

• Enjoy immediately. Pair with an IPA or pale ale.

CRISPY FRIED JALAPENOS

Steps:

• Chop jalapenos into spears. Cut off the stems and then cut the jalapeno in half lengthwise. Remove seeds (if you prefer) and then slice the jalapeno into spears or skinny sticks. Repeat until all jalapenos are sliced.
• Mix flour, salt, pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, eggs, and beer together in a bowl. (Batter should be slightly thinner than pancake batter). You may prefer to add more flour to add thickness.
• In a deep fryer or large skillet, heat oil to 365° F. (Try to maintain that temperature all throughout frying. )
• Dip the jalapenos in the batter and completely cover all sides.
• Place battered jalapenos in the deep fryer or skillet. The jalapenos are fully cooked when they are golden brown and crispy and float to the surface of the oil. (Remember the jalapeno spears will continue to brown a bit after removing from the oil.)
• Remove jalapeno spears and set on a paper towel so that any excess oil can drip off. If you want to add extra salt, do this immediately out of the oil.

JALAPENO FRIES WITH ROASTED GARLIC RANCH

Carefully add the strips to the oil, and fry until golden brown, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining strips, letting the oil come back to temperature between batches. Sprinkle the fries with salt as soon they come out of the oil.
