I saw something similar to this recipe and tweaked it to my liking. My family loves these eggs and they are great appetizers for any party.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

What's better than a deviled egg? How about a deep-fried deviled egg?! This appetizer will blow the minds of our family and friends. Bacon is wrapped around the deviled egg that's stuffed with a spicy, creamy filling. Everything is deep-fried until crispy. When you bite into the deviled egg, there are different textures - crispy, crunchy, and creamy. The chipotle dipping sauce puts these eggs over the top. Make sure to serve these while still warm.
