Ingredients

Scale
  • 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

  1. Fill a frying pan with ½ inch oil and heat over medium-high heat to 350–375 degrees F.
  2. While oil is heating, drain pickles and place them on paper towels. Pat dry to remove excess juice.
  3. Whisk flour, garlic salt, Italian seasoning, and pepper together in a shallow bowl. Add water and mix until smooth.
  4. Place breadcrumbs in a separate shallow dish.
  5. Working in batches, add pickles to the batter and toss to coat. Then dip pickles in breadcrumbs, making sure to coat all sides.
  6. Fry pickles in batches in the oil for 1–2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining pickles.
  7. Serve immediately with Ranch dressing.

Notes

  • Air Fryer Directions: Preheat the fryer to 425 degrees F. Bread the pickles as directed, then place in a single layer in the fryer basket and cook for 7–9 minutes. They should be golden brown and crispy. Flip the pickles and cook for an additional 7 minutes on the other side.
  • Variations: Feel free to change up the seasonings in the batter for a different flavor. Add some paprika or chili powder to make it a little spicy.
