Ingredients

• 1 (16-oz) jar dill pickle slices
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 4 dashes hot sauce
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
• Neutral cooking oil, (peanut, vegetable, canola, etc)

Directions

1. Preheat about 2-inches of oil in a large (8 quart) pot to 350°F. Prepare a tray with double paper towel stack. Set aside.

2. In a medium bowl combine buttermilk, egg, and hot sauce. Beat with a fork to combine. Drain pickle juice from pickle jar, add pickles to buttermilk mixture. Stir to combine.

3. In a separate bowl whisk together flour, paprika, garlic powder and cayenne pepper.

4. Add about a handful of pickles to flour mixture. Swirl pickles around and make sure they are well coated. Shake off excess flour and drop pickles in hot oil one at a time. Only put 7-8 pickles at a time so the temperature does not drop too much.

5. Fry pickles for 3-5 minutes until they are golden brown. Remove from oil with a slotted spoon and drain on a tray lined with paper towels.

6. Serve and enjoy!
