Fried Pickle Chips image

I remember these from the days when we were teenagers and running around town with our friends. There was a drive-in where we used to hang out that served these and we had to go there every day to eat these. When I found the recipe years later I had to try it. Of course they're not as good as when we were carefree kids but...

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 c all-purpose flour
1 c corn meal
3/4 tsp salt
3/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp tony chachere's creole seasoning
1 c buttermilk
1 qt hamburger dill chips, drained
canola oil for frying

Steps:

  • 1. Drain the dill chips and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside in a bowl lined with paper towels.
  • 2. Pour the buttermilk into a small mixing bowl.
  • 3. Combine dry ingredients into a separate medium bowl and stir to combine.
  • 4. Dip each pickle chip in the buttermilk and then dredge in the flour mixture.
  • 5. Deep fry a few coated pickles at a time in hot oil (350 F) until they are light golden brown. They should float to the surface when done. This won't take long at all.
  • 6. Remove from oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels or place in a bowl lined with paper towels. Even more fun if served in a paper-lined basket like the drive-ins used to use.
  • 7. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. I prefer Ranch dip.
