Step 1
Wear protective kitchen gloves before handling the jalapenos.
Step 2
Slice the jalapenos in thin rings (about 1/8 inch) and clean out the inside ribs and part (or all) of the seeds with a small spoon. Alternatively, use a jalapeno corer to remove the seeds and ribs and then slice in rings.
Step 3
Set them aside in a bowl.
Step 4
Bring cooking oil to 350°F. Use a deep pot or fryer.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Allow to drain for half a minute before sprinkling with hops (or other flavored) salt.
Step 8
Proceed with coating the next batch with flour and ensure that the cooking oil is at exactly 350°F before frying them.
Step 9
Continue with the steps until you have worked through all the jalapenos.
Step 10
Enjoy immediately. Pair with an IPA or pale ale.
