Fried Pickles Ingredients

Method

Fried Pickles Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pickles

    Drain the sliced dill pickles and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Make the Breading Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Dredge the Pickles

    Dip each pickle slice into the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off. Then coat the pickle slice in the breading mixture, ensuring it is fully covered.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable 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, frying until golden brown and crispy, approximately 2-3 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the fried pickles warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
