For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the bread crumb mixture. Ensure the oil temperature remains consistent for even cooking and optimal crispiness. If you don't have a deep-fryer, a large saucepan with high sides will work well. Be sure to monitor the oil carefully. Experiment with different dipping sauces to find your perfect pairing. A creamy dill sauce or a sweet and tangy barbecue sauce are also excellent choices.

01 Step
Recipe View Prepare the Breading: In a medium bowl, thoroughly combine the Italian-seasoned bread crumbs, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Set aside. (2 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Create the Egg Wash: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined. (1 minute)
03 Step
Recipe View Double-Coat the Pickles: Dip each dill pickle spear into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, immediately transfer it to the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the bread crumbs adhere. Repeat this process, dipping each spear in the egg and bread crumb mixtures a second time for a thorough double coating. (15 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Freeze for Firmness: Arrange the breaded pickle spears in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the freezer and allow the pickles to chill until the breading is firm and set, approximately 30 minutes. This step is crucial for preventing the breading from separating during frying. (30 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View Heat the Oil: In a deep-fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the vegetable oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature control. (10 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View Fry to Golden Perfection: Carefully add the frozen pickle spears to the preheated oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the fryer. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the pickles are light golden brown and crispy. (4 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View Drain and Serve: Remove the fried pickles from the oil using a slotted spoon or fryer basket. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch, blue cheese, or a spicy aioli. (2 minutes)

Sep 30, 2024Freezing the pickles before frying is a game-changer! It really helps the breading stay on and gives them a great texture.
