Fried Pickle Chips Recipe

Fried Pickle Chips Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Pickles

   Drain the dill pickle slices and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

2. 2

   Set Up the Breading Station

   In one bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk. In a third bowl, combine the cornmeal, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.

3. 3

   Bread the Pickles

   First, dip each pickle slice in the flour, shaking off the excess. Next, dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it with the cornmeal mixture. Make sure each slice is evenly coated.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

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

5. 5

   Fry the Pickles

   Carefully add the breaded pickle slices to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown.

6. 6

   Drain and Serve

   Remove the fried pickles with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
