Super Tasty Fried Dill Pickles

Sharing is caring!

Introducing Super Tasty Fried Dill Pickles – a crispy, flavorful delight that will elevate your Super Bowl Sunday snacking experience.

These pickles are so irresistibly tasty that you’ll be tempted to fry up the whole jar. These are better than any I’ve had at any bar or restaurant so I hope you agree!

Choosing the Perfect Pickle

The secret behind these mouthwatering fried dill pickles is picking the right pickle.

I canned my own so they are a bit spicy and super flavorful which is perfect.

If you don’t have homemade ones, opt for either Claussen pickles, found in the refrigerated section, or Stumps, known for their crispy and tasty profile.

So make sure you buy whole dill pickles and slice them thick about 1/4 inch each. Put them on paper towels and blot with more paper towels so they’re nice and dry. This will help the breading stick.

Creating the Flavorful Coating

Spicy Flour Mixture

1. In the first bowl, combine 1 cup of flour with a medley of spices – garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne, oregano, salt, and pepper.

Dill Flour Mixture

2. In the second bowl, mix 1 cup of flour with dill, oregano, and a dash of salt and pepper.

Buttermilk Bath

3. Whisk together an egg and 1/2 cup of buttermilk in the third bowl. The buttermilk adds a delightful crispiness and a tangy flavor to the pickles.

The Dipping Process

Set up a dipping station and dip each pickle slice in the spicy flour, then the egg and finally the dill flour.

Use your left hand to pick the pickles and dip then your right hand to egg and flour.

It helps your fingers to not get so gooey that you can’t pick up the pickles!

Frying to Perfection

While you’re dipping, heat your oil to a precise 375 degrees in a heavy-bottom pan or wok.

A candy thermometer ensures accuracy.

Fry only 6-8 pickle slices at a time, allowing the oil to return to temperature between batches.

This ensures a crispy outcome, free from excessive oil saturation. Regular vegetable oil or corn oil will work perfectly.

Serving Suggestions

These Super Tasty Fried Dill Pickles are so delicious on their own, but dipping them in ranch dressing or the Chick-Fil-A copycat sauce takes them to the next level.

Picture yourself enjoying these crispy delights with a cold beer, Shandy beer or one of my other Beer Cocktails while cheering on your favorite team during the Super Bowl.
