Fried Pickles Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Pickles

   Drain the dill pickle spears and pat them dry with paper towels.

2. 2

   Prepare the Breading

   In a bowl, mix together the flour, cornmeal, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

3. 3

   Dipping Station

   In a separate bowl, pour the buttermilk. Set up a dipping station with the buttermilk on one side and the seasoned flour mixture on the other.

4. 4

   Coat the Pickles

   Dip each pickle spear into the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, then coat in the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

5. 5

   Heat the Oil

   In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

6. 6

   Fry the Pickles

   Carefully place the coated pickle spears into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.

7. 7

   Drain and Serve

   Remove the fried pickles with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve hot with ranch and honey dill sauce.
