Steps:
- In a large heavy-bottomed skillet or cast-iron pan, heat enough oil to cover 1/2-inch of the skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a wire rack.
- In a large zip-top bag, add the drained Quick Pickles and flour and shake until well coated.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In a shallow baking dish, add the panko, dill, garlic and 1 teaspoon salt. In batches, dip the floured pickle chips into the eggs and then into the panko, making sure they are fully coated with the seasoned breadcrumbs. Place the coated pickles on the prepared baking sheet until all the pickles are coated.
- Working in batches, fry the pickles until they are golden brown, 1 or 2 minutes, turning once. Drain the pickles on a paper towel-lined plate (or another baking sheet lined with a wire rack). Sprinkle them with kosher salt as soon as they come out of the oil and serve immediately alongside some Buttermilk Ranch Dippin' Sauce.
- Cook's Notes: Using a slotted spoon or a fish spatula will help you toss the pickles in the egg mixture. When frying, always drop the food into the oil away from your body and close to the surface of the hot oil.
- In a saucepot, combine the vinegar, sugar, salt, mustard seeds, coriander seeds, celery seeds, peppercorns, garlic, chile and 2 cups water and bring the mixture to a boil to dissolve the sugar and salt.
- Using a mandolin (or sharp knife), slice the cucumbers 1/4-inch thick and place in a large heat-safe bowl or container.
- Once the mixture boils, pour the liquid over the sliced cucumbers, making sure the cucumbers are submerged. Let the cucumbers sit in the liquid as it comes to room temperature, for about 20 minutes. Drain the pickles, reserving the liquid. Serve as is or fry em' up! To serve, add a little of the pickling juice right on top of the pickles.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients until fully incorporated. Adjust the seasoning. The dressing can be stored in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to a week.;
FRIED PICKLES WITH PICKLED RANCH DIP
Fried pickles come in many shapes and sizes, but this recipe approaches them in a way that maximizes their crunch: First, it calls for pickle chips, which yield a better coating-to-filling ratio than pickle spears. Next, the pickles are patted dry to remove extra moisture, ensuring that the breading adheres to every nook and cranny. Finally, breading the pickles in a flour-buttermilk-bread-crumb sequence creates a robust crust. When frying breaded ingredients, be mindful of residual cooking: Remove your cooked items from the hot oil just before they reach their desired shade of golden brown, as they'll continue to cook - and darken - after being removed from the heat. Frying the pickles mutes their acidity, but adding chopped pickles to the dill-flecked creamy dip bumps up the brightness.

Steps:
- Line a large baking sheet with paper towels. Arrange 40 pickle chips (about 1 1/2 cups) in an even layer on top, and cover with another layer of paper towels, pressing gently to absorb excess moisture. Set aside.
- Prepare the pickled ranch dip: Finely chop the remaining 8 pickle chips. Transfer to a small bowl and add the mayonnaise, dill, chives, garlic salt (if using), onion powder and 1/3 cup buttermilk. Stir to combine, season to taste with salt and chill until ready to serve.
- Add the oil to a medium saucepan and heat over medium-high until oil comes to 375 degrees, about 5 minutes. Cover another baking sheet with paper towels for draining the fried pickles.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour with 2 teaspoons each salt and pepper. In another medium bowl, whisk the remaining 2/3 cup buttermilk with the hot sauce. Add the bread crumbs to a large shallow bowl. Working in about four batches, add about 10 pickle chips to the flour mixture and toss to coat. Transfer to the buttermilk mixture, turning until coated. Allow the excess buttermilk mixture to drip off, then transfer to the bread crumbs. Turn pickle chips to coat in bread crumbs, packing bread crumbs on top until chips are fully covered, and transfer them to a plate.
- Add coated pickles to the hot oil, dispersing them evenly, and cook, turning halfway through, until crisp and lightly browned, about 1 minute. Transfer to the paper towel-lined sheet pan. Repeat with remaining pickles, adjusting heat as needed to maintain oil at 375 degrees. Serve immediately, with pickled ranch dip.
