Deep-fried pickle slices are a tasty appetizer.
Deep-fried pickles are considered a delicacy in the American Deep South. Featuring a tangy flavor, crunchy texture and a crispy coating, deep-fried pickles are a taste sensation. When picking the ideal pickles for frying, choose dill rather than the bread and butter variety. Fried pickles make delicious party appetizers when served alongside ranch dipping sauce. You can also make fried pickles to accompany a variety of main dishes, such as fried chicken or fish or grilled hamburgers.
Instructions
1. Place 1 pint of sliced dill pickles on paper towels to drain. Blot the pickles with the paper towels to remove excess moisture.

3. Combine 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup cornmeal, 1 tsp. garlic powder, 1 tsp. cayenne pepper and salt and black pepper to taste in a separate bowl.
4. Preheat vegetable oil to 370 F in a deep fryer or heavy frying pan.
5. Dip each pickle slice into the egg mixture and then coat them in the flour and cornmeal mixture.
6. Place the pickle slices in the hot oil and fry them until the batter is golden brown and crispy. Drain the fried pickles on paper towels and eat immediately.
