Fried Pickles are a wonderful flavor and texture combination and perfect for an appetizer or side dish.

Ingredients

  • oil for frying (vegetable or peanut)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (Greek seasoning or your favorite seasoning medley may be substituted)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 16 ounces dill pickle slices, drained and dried on paper towels

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat 1 1/2-2 inches oil in a heavy bottomed pot over medium-high heat to 375-degrees F.

  2. 2

    In a shallow bowl or rimmed plate, whisk together flour, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Add hot sauce and water and mix until smooth.

  3. 3

    Working in batches, add dried pickles to the batter, gently toss to coat. Using a slotted spoon (or Chinese Spider), remove pickles from the batter and let excess drip off. Gently add pickles to the oil one at a time. Fry for about 1 1/2-2 minutes or until golden. Remove and let drain on paper towels. Monitor oil temperature as batches are frying to maintain consistent 375-degrees F.
