Fried Pickles

Fried Pickles are truly addictive and the perfect appetizer for serving guests for the big game, parties, or a fun weekend at home. The cayenne in the seasoned flour adds very little heat, just a nice depth of flavor.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 16 oz jar dill pickles chips
  • cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoon mustard stone-ground
  • vegetable oil for frying
  • ranch dressing for serving, homemade

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in your skillet or fryer to 350°F.
  2. Place the pickles on paper towels. Use dry paper towels to pat them completely dry.
  3. In one bowl or pan, mix together the buttermilk and mustard until fully combined.
  4. In a second bowl, whisk together the flour with the salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper.
  5. Working in batches, dip the pickles into the buttermilk mixture to completely coat. Next, dredge them in the flour mixture, using your fingers to help ensure the pickle is fully coated.
  6. Add the coated pickles into the hot oil, and cook, flipping once or twice, until golden brown and very crispy, about 4 minutes. Use a spider or metal slotted spoon to transfer the fried pickles to a platter lined with paper towels. Continue with the remaining pickles.
  7. Serve at once with your favorite dipping sauce (such as our Homemade Ranch).

Notes

  • Look for pickle chips in the pickle section of your supermarket.  We like Vlassic Sandwich Dill Pickle Chips.  They have good flavor, are nice and big, have the perfect thickness, and are already crunchy.  However,  go with whatever is your favorite type of pickle.  Bread and butter are really delicious, too. 
  • See the blog post if you'd rather air-fry or bake these pickles (psst....a quick deep-fry is the best, but these options are healthier, no doubt). 
  • These are best served hot.  Although they're still tasty after they've cooled, they lose much of the crunchiness, which helps to make them so yummy!
