Hi there,
I had similar problems: those jalapenos are slippery customers. I had a
couple of hundred stuffed ready to freeze and the "trial" ones wouldn't
keep the coating. I eventually froze them (stuffed but uncoated) and made
a beer batter, dipped the frozen poppers it (it congealed very
satifactorily), popped them back in the freezer before they even started
to thaw. A couple of hours later I took them out for a coating of egg and
crumbs and quickly put them back in the freezer. Now when I want them I
take a bunch out of the freezer and deep-fry them from frozen.
Works for me but it's a bit labour-intensive unless you're doing a
biggish batch.
