  1. Use wax paper to set the mozarella sticks on! For gods sake whatever you do use wax paper. I drained mine on paper towels and the cheese that oozed out stuck to the paper and made quite the mess. Definitely only fry them for a few seconds as they cook very quickly. I used tongs to pick mine out of the oil and it squeezed them too hard. perhaps some type of spatula would have saved the shape of them better. good recipe though! thanks
