Preparation

Step 1

Step 1
Heat oil in deep fryer or 12-inch skillet to 375°F. (0R spray with olive oil and bake in oven at 375 degrees for 30 minutes. Please put on parchment paper as it makes clean up a lot easier.)

Step 2
Meanwhile, in shallow bowl, stir together flour and dressing mix. In another shallow bowl, beat eggs with whisk. In third shallow bowl, place bread crumbs.

Step 3
Dip each pickle spear into flour mixture, then into egg. Dip into flour a second time, then into egg a second time. Coat pickle spear with bread crumbs.

Step 4
After all pickles have been breaded, fry in hot oil 2 to 3 minutes, turning once, or until deep golden brown. Drain fried pickles on cooling rack or paper towels.
