For some reason, hubby and I have had a hankering for fried pickles. We had never tried them and while hubby wanted to make them at home, we decided we would go out and try them at a restaurant first.

Unfortunately, not many places carry fried pickles.

Fortunately, we found one place that did.

The restaurant we went to used pickle spears which, while they were yummy, hubby complained of the difficulty biting through the pickle skin. So when it was his turn to make them at home, he used the dill pickle chips and I have to say – they were bite sized and delicious!

Ingredients:

Hamburger Dill Chips (pickles)

Juice from pickle jar

Dill weed

Lemon Pepper

Eggs

Milk

Flour

You will need to make a wet mix and a dry mix for the batter.

Wet Mix:

2 eggs

A splash of milk

1/2 tsp dill weed

A splash of pickle juice

Dry Mix:

Approximately 2 cups White flour

1 tsp dill weed

2 tsps lemon pepper

Dip the pickle chips into the dry mix, wet mix, and dry mix again, so you are coating the pickle three times.

Place on a plate or sheet pan and place into the fridge for 30 minutes. This will help keep the batter on the pickle when you fry them.

Heat your oil to 375*

Fry the pickles, turning half way.

Remove pickles from oil when they become lightly brown.

Place on paper towel to remove excess oil.

Let cool and enjoy!
