Directions

• In a shallow bowl, mix the flour with garlic powder, onion powder, and Adobo seasoning.
• In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk to create the egg wash.
• In a third bowl, place the crushed Hot Cheetos crumbs.
• Roll each mozzarella stick in the seasoned flour, ensuring it’s fully coated.
• Dip the floured stick into the egg wash, covering it completely.
• Roll the stick in the Hot Cheetos crumbs, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs.
• Repeat the process: dip the stick back into the egg wash and then into the Hot Cheetos crumbs again for a double coating.
• Place the coated mozzarella sticks on a tray or plate and freeze them for 30 minutes. This helps the coating set and prevents the cheese from melting too quickly during frying.
• Deep Fry Method:
• Heat oil in a pot to 350°F (175°C).
• Carefully place the frozen mozzarella sticks into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and the cheese is melted (about 2-3 minutes).
• Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
• Air Fryer Method:
• Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
• Place the frozen mozzarella sticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
• Air fry for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
