Fried pickle chips 🥒✨ — tangy, crispy, and addictive! They’re slices of pickles coated in batter or breadcrumbs and deep-fried until golden. Perfect as a snack, appetizer, or side.
Here’s a complete guide:
Fried Pickle Chips Recipe (Serves 2–3)
Ingredients
- 1 cup pickles, sliced into ¼-inch thick rounds
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cornmeal or panko breadcrumbs (for extra crunch)
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 egg
- 2–3 tbsp milk
- Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
Optional Dipping Sauce
- ¼ cup ranch dressing or spicy mayo
Instructions
1. Prepare the coating
- In one bowl: mix flour, cornmeal, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper
- In another bowl: whisk egg + milk
2. Coat the pickles
- Dip pickle slices in the egg mixture
- Dredge in the flour/cornmeal mixture, pressing gently to coat well
3. Fry the pickles
- Heat oil in a skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C)
- Fry pickle chips in batches for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown
- Remove and drain on paper towels
4. Serve
- Serve warm with ranch, spicy mayo, or ketchup
Tips
- Pat pickles dry before battering to prevent soggy coating
- Fry in small batches for even crispiness
- Use dill pickles for a classic tangy flavor, or bread-and-butter pickles for sweetness
Variations
- Spicy: add cayenne or chili powder to the flour mixture
- Cheesy: sprinkle with grated Parmesan after frying
- Oven-baked: spray coated pickles with oil and bake at 425°F for 10–15 minutes
If you want, I can also give a “quick air-fryer version” that’s crispy and healthier but tastes just like the fried ones.
Do you want me to do that?
