Your favorite sports bar snack is now easy to make at home–and we think the results are much, much better. After a dunk in a buttermilk-egg mixture, dill pickle slices take a tumble in our Crunchy Ranch Coating (then the process is repeated for an extra crunchy exterior). We love to skillet-fry pickles, but you can also deploy your air fryer or a hot oven. The pickles are best served immediately after cooking, but you can also hold them in a 250-degree oven for up to one hour (enough time for your buddies to settle into the sofa for the BIG GAME).

Wait! Before you use pre-sliced hamburger pickles… we suggest you cut your own pickles into ½-inch thick rounds, because you’ll get a better pickle-to-batter ratio.

Serve with your favorite condiments (may we suggest our Rodeo Ranch Dressing?).

Directions

Slice pickles into ½-inch rounds (you should have about 2 ½ cups), and then pat the slices dry with paper towels. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg. Pour the Crunchy Ranch dry mix in a separate shallow bowl.
Working in batches, use one hand to dip the pickles into the buttermilk mixture, allow excess liquid to drain, then use your other hand to roll in the dry mix until well coated; repeat process, giving the pickles slices a second dip in the wet and dry mixtures.

Fry

Fry the pickles in 350℉ vegetable oil until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Using a spider strainer or tongs, transfer to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with the remaining batches of pickles.

Bake

Bake the pickles at 425℉. Coat the baking sheet and top the surface of pickles with cooking spray before cooking. Flip after 5 minutes, and spray again with oil before cooking for an additional 5 minutes.

Air Fry

Air Fry at 350℉. Coat the cooking surface and food with nonstick spray before Air Frying for 5 minutes. Gently flip the pickles and spray again with oil before Air Frying an additional 5 minutes.
