Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs (beaten)
  • 2 cups crushed Hot Cheetos
  • Cooking oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your workstation by setting up three bowls: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for crushed Hot Cheetos.
  2. Roll each string cheese stick in flour, ensuring it’s well-coated. Dip in the beaten eggs for an even covering.
  3. Crush the Hot Cheetos into fine crumbs and roll each egg-dipped cheese stick in them, pressing gently to adhere.
  4. Heat 1-2 inches of oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C) and fry the coated sticks until golden brown—about 1-2 minutes per side.
  5. Serve warm with marinara sauce or ranch dressing.
