Flamin' Hot® Fried Pickles image

Fried pickles with a kick! The cayenne may seem over the top but the Cheetos® lose some of their heat in the oil so you've got to trust me on this one. Dip in ranch dressing if desired.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup oil for frying, or as needed
1 large large egg, beaten
½ (8.5 ounce) bag spicy cheese-flavored cornmeal snack (such as Cheetos® Flamin' Hot®)
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
12 slices dill pickles

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place beaten egg in a flat dish.
