You really should try these, Fried Dill Pickles are the best! You can also use dill pickle chips. Sonic used to sell them at "some" of their locations until a few years ago.....

Really good fried pickles. I made these for hubby, son, and hubby's cousin. My son walked out of the room and came back in a few minutes later and wondered why they were all gone. Followed the directions exactly. Thank Lennie for a great recipe.

Awesome! Not what I was expecting, but then I have only ever had two lots of fried pickles in my life and they were different to each other as well. I had to use lots more beer to get a thinner batter and I chose to use less cayenne and salt but other than that I pretty much did as instructed. Fabby! Will be making again and soon!
