Fried Pickle Chips Recipes

ALMOST-FAMOUS FRIED PICKLES

Steps:

• Make the sauce: Mix the mayonnaise, horseradish, ketchup and Cajun seasoning in a bowl; set aside.
• Fry the pickles: Heat 1 inch peanut oil in a pot over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees F. Meanwhile, whisk the flour, Cajun seasoning, Italian seasoning, cayenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup water in a large bowl until smooth. Spread the pickles on paper towels and pat dry.
• Add half of the pickles to the batter and toss to coat. Remove from the batter using a slotted spoon, letting the excess drip off, and add to the oil one at a time. Fry until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes; remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Return the oil to 375 degrees F and repeat with the remaining pickles and batter. Serve immediately with the prepared sauce.

• Heat oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) in a deep-fryer or heavy deep skillet. Dip pickle slices into the milk mixture, then into the flour mixture. Repeat dipping.

Coat pickles with flour mixture, then dip in egg mixture; coat again with flour mixture. , In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Fry pickles, about 10 at a time, for 3 minutes or until golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm with ranch dressing if desired.

BEER-BATTER FRIED PICKLE CHIPS

Steps:

• If not pre-cut, cut pickles in 1/2-1/4 inch slices. Blot pickles with paper towels to remove excess moisture (I cut mine and immediately place them on folded-up paper towels, and then I blot them also).
• Whisk 3/4 cup flour with the beer. Place remaining flour, salt, and pepper in a gallon-size Ziploc bag; shake to combine.
• Pour canola oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven, and set it over medium heat; the oil should be approximately 3/4 inch deep.
• When your oil is hot (test it by sprinkling a little water in the oil, when it pops, you know it's ready), start preparing the pickle chips.
• Put all the pickle slices in the Ziploc bag with the flour to completely coat the pickles with flour. Take them out, and dip them in beer batter.
• Immediately place batter-covered pickles in the oil (about 10-15 at a time, making sure not to crowd them), careful that it may pop back, for about 2 minutes on each side or until brown.
• When they're golden, remove and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
• Eat plain, serve with Ranch dressing, or serve with any dipping sauce of your choice.

CRISPY CHEESE PICKLE CHIPS IN THE OVEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Sprinkle 1 teaspoon shredded cheese into a non stick muffin pan.
• Place one pickle on top of the shredded cheese.
• Sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon shredded cheese on top of the pickle. It won't cover it completely and that's okay.
• Sprinkle each chip with Everything bagel seasoning if using. Note: you can use any seasoning you want you you can bake them without any seasoning. I want to encourage you to try them both ways.
• Bake at 350 degrees for about 6 minutes or until the edges of the cheese are dark brown and all the cheese has fully melted.
• I've noticed the silicone pans take about 3 minutes longer to get those crispy edges.
• These cheese should be bubbling and flat. If the cheese is not bubbling they will not turn out crispy. Be sure not to take them out of the oven too soon. If you do it will just be melted cheese and it didn't have enough time to form a cheese crust that holds the chip together. The darker brown the cheese the crunchier the chip.
