Crispy Fried Dill Pickles

The Ultimate Game Day Appetizer

Crispy fried dill pickles deliver the perfect mix of salty, sour, and crunchy. Coated in a seasoned breadcrumb crust and fried until golden, they’re an irresistible snack that’s easy to make and even easier to devour.

Ingredients

• 1 jar of dill pickle chips (drained and patted dry)

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 2 large eggs

• 1 tablespoon milk

• 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)

• ½ teaspoon garlic powder

• ½ teaspoon paprika

• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

• Vegetable oil (for frying)

Step 1: Prep the Pickles

Drain the pickles and lay them on paper towels. Pat dry thoroughly—this step is key for maximum crispiness.

Step 2: Set Up Your Breading Station

Place flour in one bowl. In another, whisk eggs with milk. In a third bowl, mix breadcrumbs with garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper.

Step 3: Bread the Pickles

Dredge each pickle chip in flour, dip into the egg mixture, then coat in the breadcrumb blend. Press lightly to help the coating stick.

Step 4: Fry to Perfection

Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry pickles in small batches for 2–3 minutes, until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Serve and Dip

Pair with ranch, spicy mayo, or your favorite dipping sauce. Serve hot for the ultimate crispy experience.

Pro Tips

• Use panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch.
