Learn how to make delicious Crispy Fried Pickles at home with this easy recipe. These tangy pickle slices are coated in a savory batter and crispy panko breadcrumbs, resulting in a perfect appetizer or snack.

Ingredients

Vegetable Oil

  • Perfect for frying because of its high smoke point and neutral flavor.

Dill Pickle Slices (16 oz jar)

  • Their tanginess complements the savory breading beautifully.

All-Purpose Flour (½ cup)

  • Forms the base of the batter and helps the breading stick.

Garlic Salt (2 tsp)

  • Adds a savory, garlicky depth to the batter.

Italian Seasoning (1 tsp)

  • A blend of herbs that gives the pickles a subtle aromatic kick.

Pepper (¼ tsp)

  • For a touch of heat and balance.

Water (¾ cup)

  • Ensures the batter is smooth and easy to coat.

Panko Breadcrumbs (1½ cups)

  • Creates a light, crispy coating.

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Frying Oil – Start by filling a frying pan with about ½ inch of vegetable oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches a temperature of 350–375°F. Use a candy or deep-fry thermometer to ensure accuracy; maintaining the right temperature is key to crispy, non-greasy pickles.
  2. Prep the Pickles – Drain the jar of dill pickles and spread the slices on paper towels. Pat them dry thoroughly to remove excess moisture. This step is crucial, as any leftover juice can cause the oil to splatter and may affect the crispiness of the coating.
  3. Make the Batter – In a shallow bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, garlic salt, Italian seasoning, pepper, and water until you achieve a smooth, lump-free batter.
  4. Set Up the Breading Station – Place panko breadcrumbs in a separate shallow dish. Arrange your breading station in this order: batter bowl, breadcrumbs dish, and a plate for the coated pickles.
  5. Coat the Pickles – Dip each pickle slice into the batter, then press it into the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring all sides are coated.
  6. Fry to Perfection – Fry the coated pickles in hot oil for 1–2 minutes on each side until golden brown and crisp. Drain on paper towels and repeat with remaining pickles.
