Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Pickles
Drain the dill pickle slices and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help the breading stick better.

Prepare the Breading Mixture
In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.

Bread the Pickles
Dip each pickle slice into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it in the breading mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the breading.
- 5
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
- 6
Fry the Pickles
Carefully place the breaded pickle slices into the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Drain and Serve
Once fried, remove the pickles from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with ranch dressing for dipping.
