My hubby is a fan of deep fried pickles. This recipe...he loves! This is the only recipe we use for deep frying. Everything else is off limits due to health reasons. So, this is just the treat! I highly recommend this recipe. Use it, change it up, do what you need to. This is a staple recipe in our home.

I've been looking for an amazing recipe for fried pickles, and this is definitely one of my top picks. When I made this recipe, I did a couple minor adjustments. First, I omitted the corn meal and combined the wet and dry ingredients to make a batter, rather than dredging the pickles in the flour, for a more even coating. Second, I used pickle spears, because pickle slices tend to get incredibly greasy. If you are going to do a batter, make sure to roll the pickles in a paper towel first to dry them off, to make sure the batter sticks. Also, depending on the moisture in the air, you may want to add additional milk to thin out the batter slightly, so you don't end up with a really thick, rubbery crust. Other than those two changes, I followed the recipe, and the results were out of this world!

This is a very good (basic) recipe. I call it "basic" because it provides the most flexibility of any I found for customizing. For example, I made it with my daughter, and being 10, she would not have wanted hot and spicy pickles. So we omitted the spicier ingredients and decreased the black pepper from 3/4 tsp to 1/4 tsp. We made it together and the result was WONDERFUL! I'm including a pic of our final result. :)

These were awesome. I used the bread and butter pickles I had in the house and OMG so I had to run to the store to try it with dill (these are our favorite type)and these were awesome as well. The reason for the 4-stars is that the batter kept falling off. I tried mixing it everything together and it made the batter stay on better. I will definitely make these again. Thanks for sharing! **REVISION** I made these again and they turned out even better. This time, I took the pickles out of the juice and let them hang out in a bowl before going into the egg mixture. I left them soak in the egg mixture for about 10 secs then put in the flour mixture and covered them completely then placed them to the side on wax paper for a few minutes before frying. This made all the difference, the batter stayed on and they came out looking better.

We did not care for these. We expected the type of fried pickles we get at the fair. This recipe is more "cakey" and we are looking for a more "tempura" type battered fried pickle.

These were pretty good, but the batter needs to be a little thicker. Next time I will probably double the flour in the batter mixture. I added cayenne to the flour/cornmeal mixture, but will add even more next time. I used pickle spears on thin skewers to make it interesting.

I added a few modifications (seasoned up the flour with adobo, black pepper & paprika), so I can't TRULY rate the original, BUT these were a huge hit, so thank you!!

I had this at a friend's house on Sunday and then made it for my family last night. What a HUGE hit! The breading stuck (which is always an issue for me) and we are going to adapt it with other veggies.

Tastes Great. Awesome Recipe. Have made this numerous times and everyone loves it. I'd recommend using Kosher Hamburger Dill Chips and they seem to come out the best.

I've been making fried pickles for many years. I love that they are now offered at many restaurants as appetizers. I could only give this recipe 3 stars because I didn't like the cornmeal at all! The recipe I used to use and will go back to again, uses a simple onion ring batter and sliced pickles. They are delicious and you really don't need a dip for them.

Finally! There is a local pub nearby that serves these and I have been trying to duplicate the recipe. This is spot on! I've made it both with spears and slices. I like to dip these in a little wasabi ranch sauce for a kick. Thanks for the recipe!

I'm not one for giving bad reviews, but this one did not impress us. We really didn't like the cornmeal in the batter, the cornmeal was like sand in the batter, just little hard crunchy pieces. I did not use the hot sauce, and used chili powder in place of cayenne, and honestly couldn't taste the seasonings at all. I think with the seasonings being in the egg/milk mix that very little of the seasonings attaches to the pickle. We were trying to re-create a recipe from a restaurant and this was not it. We will keep looking.

this recipe is the first one I've seen on the net that includes cornmeal and flour in the mixture. This is how it was done down in the Gulfport, Ms area. The breading sticks better and the flavor is amazing, even after they've cooled. The "just flour" fried dill pickles...not so good cold. I give this recipe an A+. But the picture is not so great.Traditionally you fried pickle slices,not spears. I've had a fried pickle spear and it's nothing like the slices. Cornmeal and slices!!!!lol.

I combine all the dry ingredients in one bowl instead of adding the spices to the liquids. I also double batter and dip these. We use our favorite pickle spears, and use "Southwest Dipping Sauce" from this site....which is plenty spicy, so I often leave the cayenne and hot sauce out of the pickle recipe b/c I feel it's not key!

Very tasty. I double battered as suggested, batter-flour-batter-flour, then placed on parchment paper and oven-fried at about 375 for 12 minutes on each side, spraying each side with Pam. Very crispy, easy cleanup, and minimal guilt!

The basic recipe is good but I changed just a tad. I prepared like chicken fried steak with double dipping. 1. Use 3 separate bowls, 1 flour, 1 seasoned bread crumbs, 1 buttermilk, leave out eggs, and other seasonings. 2. Cut pickles into spears, lay on paper towel and dry off. 3. Coat dried spears in flour first, dredge in buttermilk, then back to flour, then back to buttermilk, then coat with seasoned bread crumbs, 4. Fry in hot oil. Do only 4 or 5 at a time, let come to golden brown 5. Take out a drain on paper towel, 6. Salt & Pepper to taste, if you want, try one first then if season if necessary. 7. Serve with burgers or dogs Please try, We really have a big hit when we serve this on the buffet table.

Ok, so being pregnant gave this recipe an extra star. I had a craving and this hit the spot perfectly. The only thing I was disappointed with was the lack of crunch. It was more pancakey than crispy due to adding all ingredients together as a couple reviewers suggested. Next time I will be followong the recipe exactly as stated. Dip in the egg milk mixture then dip in flour mix. That will definitely make it crispy!
