Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pickles

    Drain the pickle chips and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In one bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In a third bowl, mix the cornmeal, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.

Frying

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 4

    Bread the Pickles

    Take a dried pickle chip and dip it into the flour, covering it completely. Next, dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, and then coat it in the cornmeal mixture. Repeat with all pickle chips.

  3. 5

    Fry the Pickles

    Carefully place the breaded pickle chips into the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate and Serve

    Arrange the crispy fried pickles on a serving platter and serve warm with ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
