Method

For the Fried Dill Pickle Chips

  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 Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, set up your breading station: one with flour, one with a mixture of cornmeal and spices (garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper), and one with beaten eggs mixed with milk.

  3. 3

    Bread the Pickle Slices

    Take a pickle slice, dip it in the flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it in the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, and finally coat it in the cornmeal mixture, pressing gently to ensure it adheres. Repeat with all pickle slices.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Pickles

    Carefully place the breaded pickle chips into the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried pickle chips from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot.

For the Ranch Dip

  1. 7

    Mix the Dip Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, dried dill weed, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well blended.

  2. 8

    Chill the Dip

    Cover the ranch dip with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

  3. 9

    Serve with Pickles

    Serve the fried dill pickle chips hot alongside the chilled ranch dip for dipping.
