Number Of Ingredients 17

EGG
12 hard-boiled eggs
2 Tbsp dill pickle relish
2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1/4 c mayonnaise
1 tsp flat leaf parsley, chopped
1 tsp lemon juice
1 pinch salt and pepper
7 oz chipotle peppers in Adobo sauce, seeded and blended (reserve 2-3 Tbsp for ranch dipping sauce)
12 bacon slices
BATTER
1/2 c cornmeal
1/2 c flour
1 Tbsp corn starch
2 1/2 Tbsp baking powder
1/2 c water
12 oz beer

Steps:

1. Cut boiled eggs length wise in circular motion without cutting boiled yolks then remove.
2. Mix boiled yolks with all ingredients (remove 2 Tbsp of blended chipotle peppers in Adobo sauce for the ranch dressing) until a smooth consistency.
3. Fill egg whites with yolk mixture.
4. Wrap the deviled egg with sliced bacon and set aside.
5. For Batter: Mix dry ingredients together.
6. Add water and then beer mixing well so that there are no lumps and smooth consistency.
7. Heat 1 quart of canola oil to 350 degrees. Lightly dredge deviled egg in flour shaking off excess flour.
8. Dip egg in the batter mix.
9. Then gently place in the heated oil. Repeat until all eggs are coated and cooked. You'll want to occasionally give the batter a stir during the batter and frying process.
10. Cook for 4 minutes in oil until golden brown.
11. For chipotle ranch, add the 2 Tbsp of reserved blended chipotles to 2 cups of ranch dressings.
12. Serve with slaw and chipotle ranch sauce for dipping.
13. Side note: You can add as much or little of the chipotle as you like. My family tends to like them spicy so I use almost all of the can.
