The ultimate finger food. Tangy pickles coated in your favorite corn chips, fried to golden brown perfection and smothered in ranch dressing and hot sauce!

Ingredients

  • 5 whole pickles
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg (lightly beaten)
  • 1/2 cup crushed corn chips (ex. Doritos)
  • 1/4 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)
  • hot sauce (for serving)
  • ranch dressing (for serving)

Directions

  1. 1

    Pierce a wooden skewer or chopstick through the center of a pickle.

  2. 2

    Carefully slice the pickle at an angle while rotating the skewered pickle to create the spiral cuts.

  3. 3

    Spread out the spiralized pickle on the skewer.

  4. 4

    Coat the pickle in flour. Shake of excess.

  5. 5

    Coat the pickle in the whisked egg. Shake of excess.

  6. 6

    Coat the pickle in the crushed corn chips. Use your hands to press the chips into the pickle to ensure it sticks and to get the chips in the cut sides of the pickle.

  7. 7

    In a pan over medium, heat 1 inch oil. Drop a few pieces of crushed chip in the oil to test the heat, if the chips sizzle the oil is hot enough. Working in batches fry pickles until golden brown, about 2 minutes per pickle. Drain on a paper towel–lined plate.

  8. 8

    Drizzle the fried pickles with ranch dressing and your favorite hot sauce.
