Notes

• When cutting the jalapenos, it is highly recommended that you utilize gloves because of their heat, which may cause a burning sensation.

You can dip each pepper into the milk and breadcrumbs twice if you want to before finally frying them. Be sure, though, to give them some time to dry up.

• Prep Time: 30 minutes
• Cook Time: 15 minutes
• Method: Frying

In case you accidentally get some of the hot pepper oils into your hands, you should never touch your eyes or face. Wash your hands using dishwashing soap. You can also utilize vegetable oil, yogurt, or milk.

Again, it would be best to use gloves.
