Hi guys today on Divis Can Cook , we are making Southern style fried pickles , one of my favorite appetizers ever .
These bad boys are so crispy and well seasoned in that sauce .
Mhm .
The , let's go .
OK .
We're gonna start with all of our spices .
I have a ton of different spices , some smoked paprika , all kind of yummy stuff .
You can find the full recipe on my blog .
Ok .
As always , don't guess at anything , you can get the recipe on my blog .
Go ahead and mix that all up in some flour just like that's wonderful .
Ok .
And then we're gonna go ahead and just kind of push this aside and we're gonna bring Ford , my best friend and the egg .
What we're gonna do is go ahead and add this buttermilk into the egg mixture .
I like for my fried pickles to like kind of have that Southern style fried chicken breading on it .
You know what I'm saying ?
Like the crispy type breading .
So , yeah , the buttermilk and egg does it for my pickles .
I am using Mount Olive mini stuffers .
I love using these for fried pickles .
It's just so yum and I went ahead and press them in between paper towels .
So they're like , really , really dry and they're perfect and ready to use .
Right .
So now I'm gonna go ahead and add my little oil to my pan .
My pan is like , so warped .
I don't know what happened to it .
Jeez .
But while that oil is heating up , go ahead and get your little dipping station on all prepared .
I got my little pan lined with par and paper .
Everything is ready to go .
OK ?
Here's how we're gonna do .
We're gonna take a little to ple .
I'm trying to be really proper and be like pickle , but I really wanna say pickle because that's how I say it .
OK .
P IC kull that is how I say it .
Dump it in the buttermilk mixture and then place it in that flour mixture .
Toss it around , shake off that excess and boom .
Done so easy .
Go ahead and do that until you have all of the pickles well coated .
OK ?
Just like that .
And you can do like several at a time .
I do , you know .
And next , we're going to go ahead and coat them again because you can see that , you know , the flour kind of gets absorbed in that first coating .
So now we're just gonna place it back into the flour .
I don't put it back in the buttermilk .
I just put it back into the flour mixture .
Toss it around again and then that is going to be my final coating because I like a nice thick coating on my fried pickles .
And I don't like , um , restaurant fried pickles at all .
I only like this kind of right here .
I'm very picky when it comes to my fried pickles .
All right now , go ahead and place this into that hot , hot oil .
If you have peanut oil can use that .
But I'm using vegetable oil .
These right here .
They don't take any time to get done .
Like what ?
1 to 2 minutes , maybe no time at all to make these bad boys .
And whenever they get nice and golden like this , they are done , go ahead and place them on paper towels to drain and then start on your next batch .
I had to do like two different batches with these and they remind me so much of like chicken nuggets .
My sons were like , are you making chicken nuggets ?
And I'm like no honey .
I am making fried pickles .
Love , love , love me some fried pickles .
Now , um for the sauce .
Ok , let's talk about sauce .
Normally , I'll do like a Mississippi comeback sauce or a French rice sauce .
We ain't doing that today .
I'm doing a very , very , very easy sauce because these fried pickles , you guys are kind of spicy and the pickle part is kind of , you know , salty and vinegary .
So the sauce is kind of like sweet is perfect .
So do not , do not skip the sauce .
You have to make the sauce .
Ok .
Let's move on to the sauce .
Here it is .
We're gonna add a little bit of mayonnaise into a bowl .
I'm using Duke's mayonnaise because it is the best .
What ?
Yes .
And then I'm gonna add some ketchup into this bowl .
Just dump that right on in .
And then we're gonna add some spices , just sugar and Italian seasoning .
Trust me on this one , you'll need a lot of stuff because these um fried pickles are seasoned really , really well .
So I'm not gonna put in anything else in this sauce and it's gonna be the bomb with these pimples .
I promise you .
Ok .
So that looks wonderful .
And now we are done .
Go ahead and start this up immediately even though um I actually like these cold like I can eat them cold .
But yeah , they are the best when they're hot out of that oil .
