- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Dip each filled jalapeno half into the flour, then the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the crushed jalapeno chips, pressing gently to adhere.
- Place the coated jalapeno poppers on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, or until the coating is golden and crispy.

- Carefully fry the baked jalapeno poppers in batches for 2-3 minutes, or until the coating is deep golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the poppers from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
