Equipment

  • Food processor (for crushing Cheetos)
  • Mixing bowl
  • Deep fryer or large pot
  • Tongs
  • Paper towels
  • Baking sheet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boudin sausage removed from casing
  • 2 cups crushed Hot Cheetos about 1 large bag
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 2 tbsp water
  • Oil for frying vegetable or peanut oil

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cheeto Coating:

  • In a food processor, pulse the Hot Cheetos until they are crushed into fine crumbs. Set aside in a shallow bowl.

Shape the Boudin Balls:

  • Remove the boudin from its casing and roll the sausage into 1- to 2-inch balls. Place them on a baking sheet.

Set Up the Breading Station:

  • In one bowl, place the flour.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and 2 tbsp of water.
  • Set the crushed Hot Cheetos in a third bowl.

Bread the Boudin Balls:

  • Roll each boudin ball in the flour, shaking off any excess.
  • Dip the ball into the beaten egg mixture, then roll it in the crushed Hot Cheetos, pressing gently to ensure the crumbs stick.
  • Repeat for all boudin balls.

Fry the Boudin Balls:

  • Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
  • Fry the boudin balls in batches for 3-4 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
  • Use tongs to carefully remove the boudin balls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serve and Enjoy:

  • Let the boudin balls cool slightly and serve them hot. They pair perfectly with ranch dressing or a spicy dipping sauce.

Notes

You can use store-bought boudin sausage or make your own from scratch.
If you prefer less spice, mix the crushed Hot Cheetos with regular breadcrumbs for a milder flavor.
To make ahead, form and bread the boudin balls, then freeze them. Fry directly from frozen for a quick snack.
