Perfect Fried Pickle Recipe 

Ingredients

• 16 oz. dill pickle slices
• ½ cup self rising flour
• 1/8 cup corn starch
• ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• ½ cup cold beer pale ale works well
• 1 quart vegetable oil

Instructions

1. Dry each side of the pickles on paper towels, they’ll cling onto the batter this way.
2. Whisk the dry ingredients together, then add in the cold beer. Stir to combine, lumps in the batter are fine.
3. Place the batter in the fridge while the oil heats up.
4. Use an oil thermometer and heat 2 inches of oil in a dutch oven to 375 degrees. It’s important for the temperature to be exact. A deep fryer may also be used.
5. Once heated, fry the pickles in batches. Place about 8 pickles into the batter. Pick them up one at a time and use the rim of the bowl to rid each one of excess batter, you want a thin coating and need to be able to see the ridges in the pickle.
6. Use a spider strainer to carefully lower the pickles into the heated oil. Fry for about 1 ½ minutes, until golden. Use the spider strainer to remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat until all pickles are fried.
7. Serve with Ranch or Chipotle Ranch Dressing, ketchup, or sriracha mayo, or homemade Comeback Sauce
