Fried pickles are the perfect snack to me—they’re crispy, salty and tangy. I like to dip these in my homemade chipotle ranch dressing. They’re so good!

Had a jar of dill pickles in the fridge not getting eaten. Wasn’t sure how I’d like these, so I halved everything. Still made plenty.
Delish!! Will be making these again. Hubby just about ate them all.

These are excellent. You can make them as spicy as you want. Please stop the annoying, canned electronic music on your women’s shows. Unnecessary.
