Fried Pickles Recipe

Fried Pickles Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Pickles

   Drain the 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 flour mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. In a second bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the buttermilk. In a third bowl, place the cornmeal.

3. 3

   Bread the Pickles

   Dip each pickle slice into the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it with cornmeal. Ensure each slice is well-coated.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

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

5. 5

   Fry the Pickles

   Carefully add the breaded pickles in batches to the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain on paper towels.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the fried pickles warm with ranch dressing for dipping.
