Taylor Hicks' Jalapeño Poppers Recipe
Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 6 large jalapeño peppers
  • Oil for deep-fat frying
  • 1 cup refrigerated fully cooked barbecued shredded pork (about 8 ounces)
  • 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded mild cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup barbeque sauce
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • 3 teaspoons of salt
  • 3 teaspoons of paprika
  • 12 ounces of beer
  • White barbeque sauce, optional

Prep: 35 minutes; Cook: 5 minutes/batch; Makes: 6 servings

Directions:
1. Cut off stem end of jalapeños. Using the tip of a small knife, remove seeds and membrane. In a large saucepan, bring 8 cups water to a boil. Add the jalapeños; cook, uncovered, 2-3 minutes or just until crisp-tender. Remove and immediately drop into ice water. Drain and pat completely dry.
2. In an electric skillet or deep fryer, heat oil to 375° F. In a small bowl, mix pork, cheese, and barbecue sauce; spoon into jalapeños. In another bowl, whisk flour, cornstarch, salt, and paprika; stir in beer just until moistened. 3. Using tongs, dip stuffed jalapeños into batter; fry in batches 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. If desired, serve with white barbecue sauce. For more with "American Idol" winner Taylor Hicks, visit www.taylorhicks.com.
