Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • Oil (for frying)
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground Black Pepper (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • 2 cups Pickle Chips
  • Ranch Dressing or Horseradish Sauce (for Dipping)

Instruction

  • Heat oil in a deep fryer or large deep pan until oil sizzles when a water drop is placed on top.
  • Combine flour, salt, pepper, sugar and cayenne pepper in a large mixing bowl. Whisk to mix and incorporate all the dry ingredients.
  • Drain the pickle chips to remove excess water. The pickles do not need to be completely dry as some moisture is needed for the battering process.
  • Toss a portion of the pickle chips in the seasoned flour mixture until the pickle chips are well-coated with the flour.
  • Transfer the pickle chips to a wire strainer. Shake to remove excess flour from the pickle chips.
  • Carefully place the pickle chips in the hot oil. Cook for three to four minutes, or until the pickles float to the surface.
  • Remove from oil and place on a plate lined with paper towel to drain. Transfer to a serving plate and serve with a dipping sauce of your choice.
