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!

Southern Fried Pickles

Ingredients

  • 1 16 oz jar of dill pickle slices drained
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  • Add oil to a heavy bottomed pot and heat over medium high heat to 350 degrees.
  • 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, shaking off excess.
  • Gently place in the oil and cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly brown and crunchy.
  • Remove to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
  • Serve right away with Ranch or Cajun dip.

 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!

🍽 Yesterday we enjoyed lunch at NCAL+H2O, an upscale seafood gem of a restaurant in downtown Rolla. It was a delicious meal and everything this Florida girl has been craving! 
🐟 We started with an order of amazing Tuna Poke Nachos then shared a Grilled Shrimp Club sandwich with fries and a tasty salad with house garlic parm dressing. We couldn't stop there so we also split a bowl of cioppino, which was chock full of fresh seafood. Next time I want to try their Parmesan Halibut or Seafood Pasta! 
❤ If you are looking for a nice restaurant to celebrate an anniversary or have a quiet date night (or day date like us) check out @saltwaterrollamo ! 
⭐ Lunch was courtesy of @rolladowntown.  I was a winner of $100 in downtown dollars in their Tis the Season of Giving contest!

🥡 We tried @doordash for the first time during our stay in Branson tonight. It really saved us time and energy running around town and delivery was free! We ordered ramen, bi bim bap, and lo mein from a local Asian restaurant called Noodle 21. It was delish! Check them out if you are in the area and send me a message if you want a referral for $5 off to try #doordash ! @noodle21branson #eatlocal #branson #takeoutfood #whatsfordinner

Road trip time and #CaseysCurbside saved the day! We stopped at @caseys and stocked up on some supplies, including my favorite pretzels and juice from their new line of Casey’s favorites, before we were on our way. I love that I can order right on Caseys.com or via their app and pickup using their free and easy curbside. #sponsored

We drove out to Marshfield today and made a few Route 66 stops including the Missouri Welcome Center in Conway with it's Route 66 themed picnic area and downtown Marshfield with the murals and Hubble telescope replica.
