Ingredients
- 16 oz. Dill pickle chips
- ½ cup self rising flour
- 1/8 cup corn starch
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ½ cup cold beer pale ale works well
- 1 quart vegetable oil
Instructions
- Dry each side of the pickles on paper towels, they’ll cling onto the batter this way.
- Whisk the dry ingredients together, then add in the cold beer. Stir to combine, lumps in the batter are fine.
- Place the batter in the fridge while the oil heats up.
- Use an oil thermometer and heat 2 inches of oil in a dutch oven to 375 degrees. It’s important for the temperature to be exact. A deep fryer may also be used.
- Once heated, fry the pickles in batches. Place about 8 pickles into the batter. Pick them up one at a time and use the rim of the bowl to rid each one of excess batter, you want a thin coating and need to be able to see the ridges in the pickle.
- Use a spider strainer to carefully lower the pickles into the heated oil. Fry for about 1 ½ minutes, until golden. Use the spider strainer to remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat until all pickles are fried.
- Serve with Ranch or Chipotle Ranch Dressing, ketchup, or sriracha mayo, or homemade Comeback Sauce.
Notes
- Dill pickle spears can be used as well, be sure to pat them very dry.
- Be sure to serve these with my easy Honey Mustard Sauce!
- Regular flour can be used instead of self-rising if needed.
- Seltzer water may be used instead of beer if necessary.
- If the batter feels too thick, add a tad more beer. If too thin, add a touch more flour.
