These fried jalapenos are a great way to use up leftover jalapenos. They're also a fun and easy snack to make.

I followed the recipe exactly and the fried jalapenos turned out perfectly. They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

I'm not a huge fan of jalapenos, but these were actually really good. The coating was light and crispy, and the jalapenos had just the right amount of heat.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to add a little more spice. I like my jalapenos to be really hot.

I love that this recipe uses panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs. It gives the jalapenos a nice, crunchy coating.
