These Fried Pickles are golden, crispy, and packed with tangy flavor! Dill pickle slices are coated in a perfectly seasoned batter, then fried until crunchy and delicious.
Fill a heavy bottom pan with about 2 inches of oil. Heat over medium heat until it reaches 360º F.
Vegetable oil for frying
Arrange the pickle chips on a paper towel, and pat the tops dry.
1 cup dill pickle chips
Meanwhile, set up a beading station. In the 1st shallow bowl add the buttermilk. And a 2nd shallow bowl with the flour and spices.
1 cup buttermilk, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Dip the pickles into the milk, then into the flour. Gently shake off the excess and place back into the milk and then into the flour mixture for a second time. Place pickle chips on a baking sheet while you coat the rest.
Carefully add the pickle chips into the hot oil and cook for about 2 minutes per side until they are nice and golden brown. Work in batches to not over crowd the pan.
Remove from the oil and place on a wire rack over a baking sheet for the grease to drain away. Season with salt if desired.
