Notes
- STORE. Jalapeño poppers are best fresh! But if you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. Heat them in the oven at 400°F for about 10-15 minutes.
- FREEZE. Place coated jalapenos on a platter, and then in the freezer. Once they are solid, transfer them to a freezer Ziploc.
- To fry, allow them to sit at room temperature while the oil is heating up. Fry until warm and golden.
