Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 jar of dill pickle chips, drained
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix together flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together milk and egg.
  3. Place breadcrumbs in a separate bowl.
  4. Dip each pickle chip in the flour mixture, then the milk mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Carefully drop the breaded pickle chips into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  7. Fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove the fried pickles with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  9. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the flour mixture. Make sure to fully drain the pickles before breading to prevent soggy fried pickles.
