Those Fried Pickle Burgers from a few weeks back have me craving fried pickles so I just had to make a delicious appetizer! In my opinion the best fried pickles, are nice and crispy on the outside and come paired with a spicy sauce for dipping. I am a big sauce gal. I like dipping everything. You are going to love this sauce! It is a recipe you will use again and again for lot’s of different foods like fries, fried onions or even on top of a burger and used as a sandwich spread.

There is one big secret for perfect fried pickles: make sure your oil temperature is right at 375 degrees. You will need a thermometer to do this. Also, the pickles do not take long to cook so keep a close eye on them while frying.

Fried Cornmeal Pickle Spears
  • Fried Pickles
  • .5 cup buttermilk
  • 16 ounce jar dill pickle spears
  • 1.5 cups cornmeal
  • .5 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne
  • oil for frying
  • Sauce
  • .5 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce
  1. On the stove top, add about 1 inch of oil to a large pan. You can use oil of choice. I have used vegetable and peanut oil and both work well. You will need a thermometer to make sure the oil is at 375 degrees.
  2. In a small bowl, mix all the sauce ingredients together and set to the side while the oil is heating up.
  3. Drain the pickle slices. Pat dry.
  4. Grab 2 bowls. Add the buttermilk and eggs in bowl #1. Add cornmeal, cayenne, pepper and flour in bowl #2.
  5. Each pickle needs to be dipped in bowl #1 and then coated in bowl #2. Set coated pickles on a large plate. Repeat process until all the pickles are coated.
  6. In small batches, add the coated pickles to the pan with oil at 375 degrees. Cook around 2 minutes or until golden brown flipping half way through. Remove from oil and place on paper towels. Repeat until pickles are all fried.
  7. Dip fried pickles in sauce ad enjoy!

      Thanks Sam. The cornmeal is different but makes them super crunchy!
