Ingredients
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 (16-ounce) jar dill pickle slices
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons garlic salt
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
¼ teaspoon pepper
¾ cup water
1½ cups panko breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Fill a frying pan with ½ inch oil and heat over medium-high heat to 350–375°F.
- While the oil is heating, drain pickles and place them on paper towels. Pat dry to remove excess juice.
- Whisk flour, garlic salt, Italian seasoning, and pepper in a shallow bowl. Add water and mix until smooth.
- Place breadcrumbs in a separate shallow dish.
- Working in batches, add pickles to the batter and toss to coat. Then dip pickles in breadcrumbs, making sure to coat all sides.
- Fry pickles in batches in the oil for 1–2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining pickles.
- Serve immediately with Ranch dressing.
Notes
- Serve fried pickles immediately for the best texture and flavor.
- Use a candy and deep fry thermometer to ensure the oil reaches the correct temperature.
- Pair the pickles with Ranch dressing or any other preferred dipping sauce.
