One appetizer that I almost always order (when I can find it) is fried pickles. A good fried pickle is juicy on the inside, briny, and has a crackling, crispy breading. With a few drinks on the side, they are one of my favorite snacks.
Ingredients:
1 (16-ounce) jar sliced pickles
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs
2 cups Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
4 cups canola oil, for frying
Ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing, for dipping
