Ingredients
2 cups pickle slices
2 cups oil
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 large eggs
to taste Ranch dressing
Method
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it reaches a shimmering state.
Pat the pickle slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. In a mixing bowl, blend together breadcrumbs, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Dip each pickle slice into a bowl of beaten eggs, ensuring they are fully coated, then roll them in the seasoned breadcrumb mixture.
Carefully place the breaded pickles into the hot oil, frying them until they achieve a golden brown hue on both sides, turning them once for even cooking.
After frying, place the pickles on paper towels to drain any excess oil, and serve them hot alongside a creamy Ranch dressing.
