Ingredients

  • For the Pickles
  • 1/2 cup 1/2 all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp 1 paprika

  • 1 tsp 1 garlic powder

  • 1 tsp 1 onion powder

  • 1/2 tsp 1/2 salt

  • 1/2 tsp 1/2 black pepper

  • 1/2 cup 1/2 buttermilk

  • 2 cups 2 sliced dill pickles (about 1/4 inch thick)

  • vegetable oil, for frying

  • For the Dipping Sauce
  • 1/4 cup 1/4 mayonnaise

  • 1 tbsp 1 hot sauce

  • 1 tbsp 1 honey

  • 1/2 tsp 1/2 smoked paprika

  • 1/2 tsp 1/2 garlic powder

  • salt, to taste

Directions

  • Fry the Pickles
  • In a skillet or deep frying pan, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk in the buttermilk until combined.
  • Dip each pickle slice into the batter, shaking off any excess.
  • Carefully drop the coated pickle slices into the hot oil in batches, frying for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried pickles to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  • Make the Dipping Sauce
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, hot sauce, honey, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt to make the dipping sauce. Chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Serve the fried pickles hot with the dipping sauce on the side.
