Follow The Directions

01

Step

5 mins

Prepare the Dredging Station: In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. In a separate bowl, combine the panko bread crumbs, parsley, seafood seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly. (5 minutes)

02

Step

10 mins

Prepare the Pickles: Cut the dill pickle spears into fry-sized lengths (about 2-3 inches). Pat them meticulously dry with paper towels. This is crucial for achieving maximum crispness. (10 minutes)

03

Step

10 mins

The Dredge: Dip each pickle spear into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated. Then, immediately transfer it to the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the crumbs adhere on all sides. (15 minutes)

04

Step

10 mins

Fry to Golden Perfection: Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the breaded pickle spears to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the fryer. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes per batch, turning occasionally, until they are deep golden brown and irresistibly crispy. (10 minutes per batch)

05

Step

10 mins

Drain and Serve: Remove the fried pickles from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve immediately and enjoy!

For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the bread crumb mixture.
Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying – this prevents the pickles from becoming soggy.
Serve these delightful fried pickles with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, spicy mayo, or a creamy dill sauce.
