Smoke-Fried Deviled Eggs

Ingredients

• 7 smoked eggs (instructions in notes section)
• 1 cup Hey Grill Hey Crispy Chicken Wing Batter (link in notes section)
• ¾ cup cold water
• 3 Tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons Hey Grill Hey Zesty Gold BBQ Sauce (link and recipe in notes section)
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 teaspoons Hey Grill Hey Sweet Rub (link and recipe in notes section)
• 1 Tablespoon pickled jalapeños (diced)

Steps

1. 1

   Prep the eggs. After you have smoked your eggs, you are ready to fill them. Slice the 7 hard smoked eggs in half. Gently scoop the yolks out into a medium mixing bowl. You can eat or discard the two egg whites that look the most beat up. You need the additional yolk in the filling to make the deviled eggs nice and full.

2. 2

   Make the yolk filling. Add in the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, BBQ rub, and pickled jalapeños to the egg yolks. Whisk vigorously to combine and fluff up the yolks.

3. 3

   Batter the eggs. Preheat the cooking oil in a large, heavy-bottom pan over medium heat.In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the Crispy Chicken Wing Batter and cold water. Gently dunk each deviled egg in the batter, ensuring even coating. Make sure to drain the hole of excess batter so you have an even coating for frying.

4. 4

   Fry the eggs. When the oil reaches a temperature of 350 degrees F, carefully place the battered eggs in to fry. Cook them for 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until crispy and golden brown.

5. 5

   Rest. Remove the fried deviled eggs to a wire rack to cool for a few minutes, and so any excess oil drips off.

6. 6

   Fill the eggs. Use a spoon to fill each egg white with about 1 Tablespoon of the yolk mixture into the fried eggs just before serving. Sprinkle with a little extra Sweet rub, and enjoy!
