4 cups canola oil, for frying

  • Place poppers into the fridge to chill for 30 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a deep, heavy pot over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F. Carefully drop poppers into the hot oil. Fry in batches until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Remove with a slotted spoon, and drain on paper towels. Stick a toothpick into each popper and serve hot.
