Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the Jalapeños:
- Wash the jalapeños thoroughly.
- Cut the jalapeños into thin, even slices approximately 1/8 inch thick. For less heat, remove the seeds.
Prepare the Coating:
- In a bowl, mix the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Pour the buttermilk into a separate bowl.
Coat the Jalapeños:
- Dip the jalapeño slices into the buttermilk, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Coat the slices in the flour mixture, gently shaking off the excess.
Heat the Oil:
- Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Chips:
- Fry the coated jalapeño slices in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crisp.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chips to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve:
- Sprinkle additional salt, if desired, and serve immediately. Pair with ranch dressing or your preferred dipping sauce for extra flavor.
