Cut each string cheese in half.
Mix the finely diced jalapenos into the bread crumbs.
Dip each cheese stick first into the flour, then into the beaten eggs.
Double dip-Again dip in the flour and into the egg mixture.
And finally into the jalapeno bread crumb mixture. Make sure each cheese stick is fully coated.
Place the coated cheese sticks onto a baking sheet and freeze them for about 30 minutes.
Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 375°F.
Without crowding, fry the cheese sticks in batches until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove the cheese sticks from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve warm with a dipping sauce.

For milder heat, remove the seeds and white membranes from the jalapeños.
Double-dipping in flour and breadcrumbs adds extra crispiness.
For best results, freeze the breaded cheese sticks for at least 30 minutes before frying.
