Ingredients
- 4 cups vegetable oil
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 2 tsp dry ranch dressing mix
- 1/2 tsp cayenne powder
- 3 eggs
- 2 cups Panko bread crumbs (See Note 1)
- 12 dill pickle spears (See Note 2)
Dipping Sauce
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing (See Note 3)
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp lemon pepper seasoning (See Note 4)
Instructions
- Heat oil to 375°F in deep fryer or deep sided cast iron skillet.
- In a shallow bowl, stir together flour, Ranch dressing mix and cayenne powder.
- In another shallow bowl, beat eggs.
- In third shallow bowl, place Panko bread crumbs.
- Roll each pickle spear in flour mixture, then into egg using one hand, shaking off excess. Dip back into flour mixture for a second time, then into egg a second time. Coat pickle spear with bread crumbs, pressing with other hand to adhere. Set aside on plate and repeat with remaining pickle spears.
- Fry in hot oil 2 to 3 minutes, turning once, or until golden brown. Drain fried pickles on cooling rack or paper towels.
- Combine dipping sauce ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.
- Serve fried pickles with dipping sauce.
Notes
- I used 1 cup Panko and 1 cup Sourdough breadcrumbs in the video due to #StayAtHome Corona Virus lockdown, but feel free to use 2 cups of Panko if you prefer. :)
- I typically find Vlasic Dill Pickle Spears to hold up well and stay crisp and firm.
- I make my own Buttermilk Ranch Dressing.
- I make my own Lemon Pepper Seasoning.
