Fried Pickles Recipe

Fried Pickles Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Pickles

   If using whole pickles, slice them into thick slices. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

2. 2

   Set Up the Breading Station

   In one bowl, place the flour. In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In a third bowl, combine cornmeal, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

3. 3

   Bread the Pickles

   Dip each pickle slice first into the flour, then into the egg mixture, and finally into the cornmeal mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

5. 5

   Fry the Pickles

   Carefully add the breaded pickles to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.

6. 6

   Drain and Serve

   Remove the fried pickles with a slotted spoon and allow them to drain on paper towels. Serve hot with ranch dressing on the side.
