Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Drain the Pickles

    Open the jar of dill pickles and drain the liquid. Place the pickles on a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Slice the Pickles

    Slice the pickles into 1/4 inch thick chips and set aside.

Batter Preparation

  1. 3

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk until well combined.

  2. 4

    Add Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add buttermilk. Mix well, then pour this mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.

Frying

  1. 5

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 6

    Coat the Pickle Chips

    Take each pickle chip and dip it into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.

  3. 7

    Fry the Pickle Chips

    Carefully place the battered pickle chips into the hot oil in batches. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan.

  4. 8

    Drain the Chips

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried pickle chips and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serving

  1. 9

    Serve Hot

    Serve the fried pickle chips hot with your choice of dipping sauce, such as ranch or spicy aioli.
