Southern Fried Pickles

Today I am sharing one of my favorite comfort food snacks: Southern Fried Pickles .
 
 I love ordering them at restaurants but have never tried to make them myself until now. They are surprisingly easy to make and take only a few minutes to prepare and cook. I decided to coat them only in seasoned flour instead of a thick egg batter so they are crunchy and light and not thick coated. I love how they came out and my husband and I gobbled them up for dinner tonight!
Fried pickles are an addictive appetizer that we often order when we dine out at local sports bars. I made this copycat recipe and I was so excited my version came out just like the restaurant version- crunchy, tangy, and delicious!
we love the fried pickles from Zaxby’s too! These pickles taste just like theirs!

 I am not partial to any brand pickle but I love crunchy dill pickle chips for this recipe. 
Pickle spears would also be yummy!
 Add oil to a heavy bottomed pot and heat over medium high heat to 350 degrees. 
 Drain the pickles {reserve the juice if you like to drink it- my kiddos do}. 
 Place the drained pickles on a paper towel lined plate and pat dry. 
 Add flour and seasonings to a large plate and stir together.
 Working in batches, add the pickles to the flour and coat on both sides.
Shake off any excess. 
 Gently place in the oil. 
Cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly brown and crunchy. 
Remove to a papertowel lined plate to drain. 
 I serve my fried pickles with ranch dip or this Cajun sauce made with ketchup, horseradish, mayo, and Cajun seasoning. 
Crunchy, with a hint of spice. My absolute favorite! 
Serve right away with dipping sauce and enjoy!

    I tried this recipe. I find I had a little trouble at first because the batter wasn’t sticking to the pickles. So I dipped in egg and then flour and they came great. Thank you for recipe.

    Surprisingly I haven’t tried to cook them using a pan, I usually use the oven or an air fryer, but I’ll have to try them with the pan. I love fried pickles and love hearing new ways to make them. Thanks for sharing!

After cruising down Route 66 last week we decided to make a pit stop for lunch at this one of a kind spot located on Kingsley Air Field: 🛩️ Hangar Kafe. 
We watched planes take off, pet the friendly local pups, checked out the vintage cars on display, and then went inside the cozy themed restaurant and  enjoyed a tasty home-cooked diner style meal. Highly recommend checking them out! 
Bonus: skydiving and hot air balloon rides are offered next door!
