Notes

  • I love these deep fried pickle chips but you can use pickle spears if you prefer. Just follow the same steps to fry them up!
  • Work in batches when frying. I usually do about 4-6 pickles at a time.
  • Make sure the oil is heated to 375°F before you start frying.
  • Set up some paper towels next to the stove where you can place the pickles after frying. Give them 5-10 minutes to cool before serving.
Storage: Store fried pickles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
