Ingredients

Scale

Fried Pickles

  • 25 Sliced Dill Pickles (drained)
  • 1/2 cup Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun Seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dried Basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • Vegetable Oil (For Frying, about 2 oz)
  • Kosher Salt (for serving)

Dipping Sauce

  • 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 Tablespoon Ketchup
  • 1 Tablespoon Horseradish
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dipping Sauce: Mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, and 1/4 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning in a small bowl. Refrigerate the sauce until ready to serve to allow the flavors to meld.
  2. Mix the Flour Coating: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning, dried oregano, dried basil, and cayenne pepper. This mixture will give the fried pickles a flavorful and spicy crust.
  3. Coat the Pickles: Drain the sliced dill pickles thoroughly to reduce excess moisture, then coat each slice evenly with the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring a good coverage for maximum crispiness.
  4. Heat the Oil: Pour about 2 ounces of vegetable oil into a small saucepan. Heat it over medium heat until the oil reaches 375°F (190°C), the ideal temperature for frying to achieve a crunchy exterior without absorbing excess oil.
  5. Fry the Pickles: Carefully place the coated pickle slices into the hot oil. Fry each side for approximately 2-3 minutes until they turn a golden brown color, indicating perfect crispness.
  6. Drain and Season: Remove the fried pickles from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. While still hot, sprinkle kosher salt over the pickles to enhance flavor and maintain crispness.
  7. Serve: Arrange the fried pickles on a serving platter alongside the chilled dipping sauce. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Be sure to drain the pickles well before coating to prevent sogginess.
  • Maintaining the oil temperature at 375°F is key for achieving a crispy texture without greasy pickles.
  • Use a slotted spoon to safely remove pickles from the hot oil and avoid breaking the crust.
  • Cajun seasoning can be adjusted to taste for more or less heat.
  • Leftover fried pickles are best eaten fresh but can be briefly reheated in an oven for crispness.
