Method
For the Fried Pickle Chips
- 1
Prepare the Pickles
Drain the dill pickle chips thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- 2
Make the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until combined.
- 3
Add Buttermilk
Pour the buttermilk into the dry ingredients and stir until fully incorporated. The batter should be thick enough to coat the pickle chips.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or a large pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it; it should sizzle immediately.
- 5
Coat the Pickles
Dip each pickle chip into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
- 6
Fry the Pickles
Carefully place the battered pickle chips into the hot oil, a few at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
- 7
Drain and Serve
Remove the fried pickle chips using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
For the Spicy Ranch Dipping Sauce
- 8
Mix the Dipping Sauce
In a small bowl, combine ranch dressing, hot sauce, and chopped parsley. Stir until well mixed.
- 9
Serve
Serve the spicy ranch dipping sauce alongside the fried pickle chips for dipping.
