Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Pickles
Open the jar of pickles and drain the excess liquid. Pat the pickles dry with paper towels to remove moisture. This helps the batter adhere better.

Make the Batter
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to combine.
- 3
Prepare the Egg Mixture
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk until well combined.

Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, pour in the vegetable oil and heat it over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter; it should sizzle immediately.

Fry the Pickles
Carefully place the coated pickle chips into the hot oil, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, flipping once to ensure even frying.

Drain and Serve
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried pickles and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
