Easy fried pickles are crispy, tangy snacks made by coating dill pickle chips in a seasoned flour mixture and frying them to golden perfection. Perfect as a game-day treat, appetizer, or party snack, they’re quick, crunchy, and bursting with flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 jar dill pickle slices (chips), drained
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cornmeal (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. Drain pickle slices and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. In a shallow bowl, mix flour, cornmeal (if using), garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.
  4. Heat 1 to 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Dip each pickle slice into the egg mixture, then coat it with the flour mixture, pressing gently to help it stick.
  6. Carefully drop the coated pickles into the hot oil in batches.
  7. Fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Use a slotted spoon to transfer fried pickles to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  9. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce like ranch or spicy mayo.

Notes

  • Pat the pickles dry thoroughly to help the coating stick.
  • Add cayenne or hot sauce for a spicy version.
  • Try panko breadcrumbs instead of flour for extra crunch.
  • Best enjoyed fresh, but can be reheated in the oven.
  • Air fry for a lighter option.
