  1. I double-battered for extra crunch, and these turned out perfect! I dipped in Remoulade sauce and thought I'd died and gone to fried food heaven!
     
  2. The first time I ever had fried pickles was at the restaurant Cheeseburger in Paradise. I was craving these little wonders but when my hubby and I went to the restaurant they had closed! Luckily I found this recipe. I used Claussen pickles (the best dill pickles on the planet in my opinion) and cut them into chips on the mandolin which made the process very quick. While frying the pickles, I whipped up some Recipe #361216 which is very similar to the sauce used at Cheesburger in Paradise. The only way these could have been better is if I didn't have to share them with my hubby... ha ha. I've had fried pickles in the shape of spears from a resturant before but they were kind of soggy... I think chips is definitely the best way to go. Next time I may try the Claussen sandwich slices to see how they do. Thanks Gloria... this was just what I needed!
     
  3. it was amasing
     
  4. I tried this recipe this evening and they were off the scale yummy. I added a bit more hot sauce and gave them a bit more zing. You could sell these bad boys. This is a recipe that even your cardiologist would enjoy.
     
  5. I tried this recipe last night. But before I prepared the pickles the way the instructions stated, I varied the instructions a bit. I noticed that some of the reviews was about the batter texture. I also used Valasic's dill pickles as they had the nice amount of thickness and flavor. I coated the pickles in the flour mixture, then I dredged them in the egg wash and then coated them with Panko bread crumbs and dropped them in the deep fryer. What an amazing taste and texture!! They were so good that my husband does not usually eat pickles, let alone fried pickles. Let me just say that he ate about 2 dozen by himself. I also purchased some blossom sauce from Wal-Mart (and it was good for a little more kick), we preferred the ranch dressing.

I am a retired nurse. My husband and I live on an island in Florida and also have a house in Mississippi. We are active traders in the stockmarket. We also have a beautiful new RV and love seeing the good ole USA. Wish we had more time to travel but stay busier now that we are retired than we did when we worked. I love to cook and experiment with recipes. My husband loves to taste and recommend little changes. Life is good.
