Hot Spicy Fried Pickles Recipes

Steps:

• For the homemade ranch dip: Add the buttermilk, mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic, salt, vinegar, pepper, onion powder and hot sauce to a food processor. Pulse until well combined and smooth. Add the parsley and dill and pulse 4 to 5 times to incorporate. Pour into a serving bowl and set aside.
• For the spicy pickle fries: Pat the pickle spears dry and refrigerate until well chilled. Heat 2 inches of oil in a large heavy pot to 350 degrees F on a deep-frying thermometer. Line a plate with paper towels.
• Combine the flour, cayenne and salt in a wide shallow bowl. Beat the eggs in another shallow bowl. Put the panko in a third shallow bowl.
• Working with a few spears at a time, dredge the pickles in the flour and shake off the excess. Roll them in the egg to coat, then let the excess drip off before coating them thoroughly in panko. Carefully add half the pickles to the oil and fry until golden brown, about 1 minute. With a slotted spoon, transfer the pickles to the lined plate to drain. Repeat with the remaining pickle spears. Serve hot with ranch dip.

Steps:

• Please Note *You will need a deep fryer or you can use a dutch oven (or any heavy bottomed or cast iron pot)*
• Heat your oil to 350 degrees.
• Combine your cup of milk Worcestershire sauce and tbsp pickle juice. Then throw your pickles in the marinade. You may be wondering why pickle juice?!? Well, the pickle juice is mainly vinegar based, and the vinegar helps to turn regular milk into buttermilk. Of course, buttermilk is a thicker milk and it will coat the pickles.
• While you're waiting on your pickles to marinade, combine all your dry ingredients (flour, yellow cornmeal, cayenne, salt and pepper). Whisk them to combine them all together.
• Take the pickles out of the milk and dredge them in your dry ingredients until it is covered, then dip it back into the milk and then dredge it back in the dry ingredients and put into the fryer. Cook them until the coating is golden brown, lay them out on a paper towel to dry off the excess oil, be sure to let them cool a little bit because they are HOT!

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place beaten egg in a flat dish.
• Place Cheetos® and cayenne in a food processor. Pulse until crumbs are achieved. Pour into a separate bowl.
• Dip a pickle slice in the egg and coat with Cheetos® crumb mixture. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining pickle slices.
• Fry pickle slices in the hot oil, working in batches, for 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and let sit for 2 minutes for final crisping.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, toss the cucumbers and onion with the pickling salt, making sure every piece is well coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• After 2 hours, thoroughly rinse the cucumbers and onion to remove any excess salt. Transfer to a clean large bowl.
• Make the pickling spice mix: In a small bowl, mix together the yellow and brown mustard seeds, black peppercorns, red pepper flakes, and celery seeds.
• Make the pickles: Scoop 2 tablespoons of the pickling spice mix into each of 3 16-ounce mason jars. Add 2 cinnamon stick halves, 1 habanero, 2 sprigs of dill, and 3 cloves of garlic to each jar. Divide the cucumbers and onion between the jars, packing tightly.
• In a small pot, combine the water, apple cider vinegar, white vinegar, and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the sugar has dissolved, 5-7 minutes. Transfer the pickling liquid to a heatproof measuring cup.
• Carefully pour the pickling liquid into each jar, leaving ½ inch of headspace at the top. Use the back of a spoon to press down on the cucumbers and onion until completely submerged.
• Tightly screw the lids onto the jars and let sit at room temperature for 2 hours, then transfer to the refrigerator overnight, or up to 2 weeks.
• Make the comeback sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, chili sauce, ketchup, hot sauce, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, mustard, garlic powder, and black pepper. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use, up to 1 week.
• Make the Nashville spice mix: In a small bowl, whisk together the paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, mustard powder, and black pepper. Transfer to an airtight container and store at room temperature until ready to use. The spice mixture will keep for up to 6 months.
• Fry the pickles: In a medium pan fitted with a deep fry thermometer, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C). Set a wire rack over a baking sheet or paper towels.
• Drain the pickles, discarding the pickling liquid and removing any lingering pickling spices, onion, and garlic.
• In a shallow dish, whisk together the buttermilk, hot sauce, and 1 tablespoon of the Nashville spice mix.
• In a separate shallow dish, stir together the bread crumbs and ½ tablespoon of the Nashville spice mix.
• Dip the pickles in the buttermilk mixture, then transfer to the bread crumbs, using your hands to pat the crumbs into each slice until fully coated.
• Working in batches, fry the pickles in the hot oil for 3-4 minutes, until golden brown all over. Transfer to the wire rack and season with kosher salt. Reserve 1 cup of the frying oil.
• In a medium, heatproof bowl, combine 2 teaspoons of the Nashville spice mix, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and the reserved frying oil. Whisk until the sugar dissolves.
• Brush the hot oil mixture over the fried pickles. Transfer to a platter and serve with the comeback sauce for dipping.
• Enjoy!
