Fried Pickles With Spicy Mayo Food

SPICY PICKLE FRIES WITH HOMEMADE RANCH DIP

Steps:

• For the homemade ranch dip: Add the buttermilk, mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic, salt, vinegar, pepper, onion powder and hot sauce to a food processor. Pulse until well combined and smooth. Add the parsley and dill and pulse 4 to 5 times to incorporate. Pour into a serving bowl and set aside.
• For the spicy pickle fries: Pat the pickle spears dry and refrigerate until well chilled. Heat 2 inches of oil in a large heavy pot to 350 degrees F on a deep-frying thermometer. Line a plate with paper towels.
• Combine the flour, cayenne and salt in a wide shallow bowl. Beat the eggs in another shallow bowl. Put the panko in a third shallow bowl.
• Working with a few spears at a time, dredge the pickles in the flour and shake off the excess. Roll them in the egg to coat, then let the excess drip off before coating them thoroughly in panko. Carefully add half the pickles to the oil and fry until golden brown, about 1 minute. With a slotted spoon, transfer the pickles to the lined plate to drain. Repeat with the remaining pickle spears. Serve hot with ranch dip.

FRIED PICKLE SPEARS

Steps:

• Fill a large, heavy-bottomed pot with about 2 inches of oil and heat over medium-high heat until a deep-frying thermometer registers 375 degrees F.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, paprika and 1 tablespoon of the hot sauce in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Whisk together the milk, cornmeal, flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, eggs, remaining 2 tablespoons hot sauce, a large pinch of salt and a generous amount of black pepper in a large bowl until smooth. Fill a 10-inch-tall cup (such as a quart container) about three-quarters of the way with the batter.
• Thread an 8-inch wooden skewer lengthwise through each pickle spear so it resembles a corn dog. Working with 2 to 3 pickles at a time, hold the end of the skewers and dip the pickles into the batter to completely coat. Pull the pickles out of the batter (you may need to hold onto the end of the pickles so the skewers don't fall out), immediately transfer to the oil and fry until the batter puffs up and turns a deep golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the pickles to a paper towel-lined plate; sprinkle with salt. Repeat with the remaining pickles and batter, making sure to bring the oil back up to temperature between each batch. Serve with the spicy mayo dip.

EASY SPICY FRIED PICKLES WITH GARLIC MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Aioli -- just mix the mayonnaise, garlic and lemon and put in a small bowl and cover and refrigerate.
• Pickles -- In a large baggie I add the flour, salt, black pepper and cayenne and mix well. Then add in the pickles (Note: I like to dry off the pickles first -- you don't want them wet) and lightly toss. Make sure to dust off most of the flour. Set on a plate for Part II.
• Pickles Part II -- Grind the panko crumbs in a small food processor until you have a fine crumb mixture. Now in 2 bowls add the egg to one bowl and the panko crumbs to the other one. Dredge the pickles already dusted in flour in the egg and then into the panko crumbs to coat well and set on a plate ready to be fried.
• Pickles Part III -- In a large frying pan heat up the oil to 350 degrees or medium high heat. Now add 10 or so pickles at a time and fry until golden brown on each side. They only take a few minutes per side. Remove to a plate lined with a paper towel to let drain.
• Serve warm with the garlic aioli dip. A great change from fries with ketchup.

AIR FRYER FRIED PICKLES

Steps:

• For the pickles: Preheat a 3.5-quart air fryer to 390 degrees F. Set a wire rack inside a baking sheet.
• Drain the pickles and spread them out on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Pat dry with more paper towels, pressing gently to remove as much moisture as possible. Eliminate any pickles with large holes or ones that are very thin.
• Set up a breading station using 3 medium bowls: Whisk together the flour, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning in one bowl. In the second bowl combine the buttermilk and hot sauce. In the last combine the panko, Italian seasoning, the remaining 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Drizzle in the oil and use your hands to toss and coat the panko.
• Working in small batches, bread the pickles: First, toss a handful of pickles in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Then dunk them in the buttermilk mixture to completely coat, shaking to remove any excess. Finally, toss them in the panko, pressing gently to make it adhere. Arrange the breaded pickles on the prepared baking sheet and repeat until all the pickles are breaded.
• Arrange one-third of the breaded pickles in the basket of the air fryer in a single layer. Cook for 8 minutes, the pickles will be very crunchy and browned on both sides. Remove to a serving plate and repeat with the remaining two batches of pickles.
• For the dipping sauce: Meanwhile, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish and Cajun seasoning in small bowl.
• Serve the warm pickles with the dipping sauce or use them and the dipping sauce to top your favorite burger.

FRIED PICKLES WITH SPICY MAYO RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Whisk mayonnaise, Sriracha, lemon juice, and garlic in a small bowl; season with salt. Pour grapeseed oil into a medium heavy saucepan; fit with deep-fry thermometer. Heat over medium heat until thermometer registers 350°F. Whisk flour, cornstarch, and baking powder in a medium bowl. Whisk in 3/4 cup seltzer water. Whisk in more seltzer, if needed, until batter is the consistency of heavy cream. Working in batches, coat pickle slices with batter, letting excess drip off, and add to oil one by one (to prevent them from sticking to one another). Fry, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crisp on both sides, about 3 minutes per batch. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Serve with spicy mayo.
