Method

For the Crispy Pickles

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pickles

    Begin by draining the dill pickles from their jar. 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 mixed with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. In a third bowl, place the cornmeal.

  3. 3

    Bread the Pickles

    Take each pickle slice, coat it in the flour mixture, dip it into the egg mixture, and then roll it in the cornmeal until fully covered. Place the breaded pickles on a plate.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Pickles

    Carefully add the breaded pickles to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried pickles from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm.

For the Chipotle Ranch Dipping Sauce

  1. 7

    Make the Dipping Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine the ranch dressing, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  2. 8

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary by adding more salt or lime juice according to your preference.

  3. 9

    Serve

    Transfer the chipotle ranch dipping sauce to a serving bowl and serve alongside the crispy pickles.
