Prepare the batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

Heat the oil
In a deep skillet or fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

Batter the pickles
Dip each pickle spear in the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.

Fry the pickles
Carefully place the battered pickles in the hot oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding.
