Coat the Pickles
Dip each pickle spear first into the flour mixture, coating all sides. Then dip into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off, and finally coat in the bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of bread into it; if it sizzles and bubbles, it’s ready.
