Ingredients:
- Canola oil
- 3 cup dill pickles chips
- 1 egg
- ½ cup buttermilk
- ½ cup milk
- 1 Tbsp flour
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp hot sauce
- 1 Tbsp pickle juice
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- 1 cup flour
- ½ cup bread crumbs
- ½ cup cornmeal
Instructions:
- In a large pot, add canola oil about 4” up. Heat to 375.
- Pat pickles dry with a paper towel. Mix egg, buttermilk, milk, 1 T flour, cornstarch, and hot sauce, and pickle juice in a bowl. Whisk until smooth. Add pickles and mix until evenly coated.
- In a gallon bag, add salt, pepper, flour, bread crumbs, and cornmeal. Close the bag and shake to mix all the dry ingredients together.
- Using a strainer spoon, scoop ⅓ of pickles into the gallon bag and shake after closing the seal (make sure to strain as much liquid out as possible). Use your hands to scoop out a handful of pickles and shake gently to get rid of excess powder. Add to oil individually in order to keep them from sticking together.
- Pickles will begin to float to the top. Stir with a slotted spoon occasionally. When golden brown, scoop out onto a paper towel.
- Serve with ranch and enjoy!
