Awesome Fried Pickles
My crew loves pickles! Dill, bread & butter, hot & spicy..we have them all in our pantry. So of course, fried pickles are a super favorite treat for us. Not wanting to pay over $5 for a small plate of pickles when dining out, we tested and tweaked our way to our own Awesome Fried Pickle recipe.
Ingredients:
2 quarts vegetable oil
16 oz. jar pickles (chips or spears)
2 cups buttermilk
3 cups flour (try mixing wheat and white for special flavor)
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper – (optional but really needed)
Directions:
- Heat the oil to 350 degrees (med-high) in a deep pot
- Drain pickles in colander and remove any seasonings
- Place the pickles in a mixing bowl and cover with the buttermilk
- Combine the dry items (flour, salt, paprika, and cayenne) in a large bowl
- Working with a handful of pickles at a time, dredge through the dry mixture (shake off excess)
- Carefully drop into the oil (I use a slotted spoon to keep from splashing)
- Press down and flip a couple of times while frying. Fry until they are golden brown (3-5 minutes)
- Remove from oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels
It doesn’t matter if you like chips or spears..both fry up nicely.

Wow, I’ve never heard of fried pickles. I’m trying to imagine what they would taste like, but can’t. I guess I’ll have to try them myself. Thanks for sharing!
I love fried pickles with ranch dressing!! So delicious! Thanks for sharing this great recipe!!
Have not tried these yet,waiting for someone to make them.
This sounds like a pretty easy recipe and I like others do not like the dill ones, but I would like to try the bread and butter or sweet pickles fried and this recipe does not seem too hard, but I bet they are great, we had dill fried ones in Shreveport and they had Cajun seasoning in them and they were good. Thanks for sharing this recipe
I have yet to try a deep fried pickles, but one of my daughters craved them when she was pregnant. I would love to try them, but I’m even more excited to make them for her! Thanks for posting this recipe. I pinned it.
My hubby will love this recipe! He loves to cook going to give to him. Thank you

I must say I’ve never heard of fried pickles. We all love pickles in our home, however. The recipe doesn’t seem to be complicated and I feel curious enough about the taste to give it a try.
Do you think the bread and butter kind would work? I imagine dill pickles are the go to, but I like the B&B better.
May have to try these in my fryer!
I like the bread and butter ones the best too.
I’ve never had fried pickles, but they look delicious!
