Ingredients
  • 16 ounce jar pickle chips, drained
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • ½ cup self-rising flour
  • 1 cup self-rising cornmeal
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • About 1 cup avocado oil, for frying (or other neutral oil)
  • Ranch, for serving
Instructions

  1. Stir together the flour, cornmeal, and salt in a shallow bowl, set aside.

  2. Pat the pickle chips dry with paper towels. Toss the pickle chips into a bowl with the beaten egg. Allowing any excess egg to drain off.

  3. Drench the pickles in the corn mixture.

  4. Heat about 1-inch of oil in a frying pan or Dutch oven to about 350°F. Fry the pickles until golden brown, working in small batches to allow room to cook evenly. Watch carefully so they do not burn.

  5. Remove the pickles and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil. Serve them hot with a generous side of homemade ranch dip and a sprinkle of flaky salt.
