Red Robin Pickle Nickels
Description
The Red Robin Pickle Nickels recipe uses dill pickle chips as its base, which are first drained and then breaded in a flour and seasoning mixture, dipped in buttermilk, and finally coated with a Louisiana-style fish fry mix. This breading method creates a substantial, crispy outer layer that contrasts well with the acidic, moist pickles inside. The pickles are fried in vegetable oil at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for just over a minute to get a crunchy, browned crust without overcooking the pickle. Draining the fried pickles on a wire rack after frying helps maintain their crispness. This preparation results in a salty and tangy appetizer or side with a satisfying crunch and bite-sized ease for sharing or snacking.

- 16 ounces dill pickles chips
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
