Fried Pickles Recipe

This Fried Pickles Recipe makes a perfectly pleasing palatable plate of goodness. Sliced and coated with seasoned flour and deep-fried. Serve them as an appetizer or a fun side dish at your next party, and watch them disappear!

It seems that just about every food known has been fried. Some successful. Others, not so much. Most fried foods, I can take a bite or two, and that’s enough, I can take it or leave it. But there are other fried foods, like mushrooms, onions, or these Fried Pickles have a flavor and texture combination that just seems right. And to take one bite or two isn’t the easiest thing to do. For that reason, we don’t prepare fried foods on a regular basis. Everything in moderation and all of that.

When we do fry something, we make sure that it’s worth the extra calories and fat. These Fried Pickles are worth it in our opinion, or as they refer to tasty things around our area, they’re “good eating.” Of course, don’t forget the Comeback Sauce (very similar to Zax Sauce) for dipping. It’s an essential partner for Fried Pickles. It just is.

Pickle haters and pickle lovers will all reach for these easy fried pickles. Crispy on the outside, juicy in the middle, they’re a staple party starter.

Prep: 25min

Total: 30min

Yield: 12

Ingredients:

  • 12 large pickle spears, drained and patted dry
  • 1 c. all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 c. panko
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1/4 c. Ranch dressing, for serving
  • 1 tbsp. Hot sauce, for serving

Instruction:

  1. Prepare the pickles: Slice pickle spears lengthwise into thirds or quarters, depending on how thick they are, to create thin spears.
  2. Set up the dredging station: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, garlic powder, and kosher salt. Put the eggs in a separate medium bowl and the panko in a third bowl. Working a few spears at a time, dredge the pickle spears in the flour mixture, toss the spears in the eggs, then dredge in panko.
  3. Make the spicy ranch: Mix together ranch and hot sauce, adding more hot sauce if desired. Set aside until ready to serve.
  4. Fry the pickles: Pour about 1 1/2-in vegetable oil into a large, deep skillet. Heat over medium heat until the oil reaches about 350 degrees F, or until the oil is shimmering. (If a splash of water sizzles when you flick it into the pan, it’s ready.) Working in batches, add 3-4 pickle spears to the hot oil using tongs. Do not crowd the pan, or the oil will cool! Cook until the spears are golden brown on one side, about 1 minute, then flip and cook until the second side is golden, about a minute more. Place the fried pickles on a cooling rack lined with paper towels. Serve hot with spicy ranch.

Dip each pickle slice in the wet batter and then gently toss in the bread crumbs, let sit for a minute or so, this will allow the crumbs to stick better.

Paper towels or a small fan works great. Try placing pickles in the oven first for a few minutes at 400 degrees f. This will reduce the surface moisture so that the flour,egg,breading will be anchored to the actual pickle and not the liquid.

How do you’re crisp fried pickles?

The best way to reheat them:

Yuck. Instead, I would lay them in a single layer on a parchment lined baking sheet and reheat in the oven at like 300 or 350 degrees F, turning only once. They should heat rather quickly and should remain crispy that way.
