Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 jar dill pickle chips, drained
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon pickle juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Directions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Pour the buttermilk into another bowl.
  3. Dip the pickle chips into the flour mixture, coating them evenly.

  6. Place the double-coated pickles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or deep-fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  8. Carefully add the pickles to the hot oil, frying them in small batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
  9. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried pickles to a paper towel-lined plate and let them drain.
  10. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, pickle juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to make the tangy dipping sauce.
  11. Serve the deep fried pickles hot with the tangy dipping sauce on the side.
