Homemade "Fried" Pickles

This recipe caught my eye because I love getting those fried pickle appetizers at restaurants. They are usually a little pricey though, so I don't like that. These "fried" pickles might actually be a little healthier than the ones at restaurants too... they are actually not fried, they are made in the oven without all the grease. Here is a link to the original blog containing this recipe.


Homemade "Fried" Pickles
Ingredients:
                 1 jar of dill pickle slices
                  2 eggs 
          1/3 cup flour 
          1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 
          1 teaspoon hot sauce 
          1 teaspoon garlic powder 
          1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning 
          1 teaspoon pepper
          1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs 
          Ranch dressing and/or hot sauce for dipping 


Directions:
  •  Turn the oven broiler on high
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and flour. Add Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, garlic powder, Cajun seasoning, and pepper. Mix well. 
  • Place panko bread crumbs in a shallow dish. Dunk each pickle into the egg mixture, then dredge it into the bread crumbs. 
  • Place coated pickles on a rack set above a baking sheet and sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Place pan in the middle rack of the oven. 
  • Broil for about 3 minutes on each side. 
  • Let cool and serve with ranch dressing and a dash of hot sauce.

  3. @Kristine: I love fried pickles too, always have. At least these won't be all covered in grease and full of fat.

    1. Do you deep fry them or fry them in a pan? I've never tried deep frying them at home.

  7. I fry them in a deep frying pan with vegetable oil, it makes them nice a crispy. Do you know if baking them in the oven would make them crispy or soggy?

    1. I would think that it would make them crispy, but I'm not sure. If you tried to re-heat them in the microwave, they would probably get soggy.
