Best Beer Battered Fried Pickles Recipes

BEER-BATTER FRIED PICKLE CHIPS

Steps:

• If not pre-cut, cut pickles in 1/2-1/4 inch slices. Blot pickles with paper towels to remove excess moisture (I cut mine and immediately place them on folded-up paper towels, and then I blot them also).
• Whisk 3/4 cup flour with the beer. Place remaining flour, salt, and pepper in a gallon-size Ziploc bag; shake to combine.
• Pour canola oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven, and set it over medium heat; the oil should be approximately 3/4 inch deep.
• When your oil is hot (test it by sprinkling a little water in the oil, when it pops, you know it's ready), start preparing the pickle chips.
• Put all the pickle slices in the Ziploc bag with the flour to completely coat the pickles with flour. Take them out, and dip them in beer batter.
• Immediately place batter-covered pickles in the oil (about 10-15 at a time, making sure not to crowd them), careful that it may pop back, for about 2 minutes on each side or until brown.
• When they're golden, remove and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
• Eat plain, serve with Ranch dressing, or serve with any dipping sauce of your choice.
