I threw these together last night as a movie snack. I love deep-fried breaded pickles, but I did not want to go to the bother of all that mess. So, I came up with this idea.
Thinly sliced dill pickles; not breaded, but tossed in some flour, breadcrumbs, and a few spices.
Yummy stuff, and easy/peasy to assemble.
Ate them downstairs, while watching the movie, Silver Bullet.
So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen

How to Make Snack Essentials: Pan-Fried Crispy Dill Pickles
- PREP/PREPARE
- You could probably make these with just about any kind of pickle; however, for me good tangy dill pickles are the best.
And, if you do not make your own, some of the best store-bought ones are Bubbies… Full Stop. - To me, this is a throw together recipe. You do not need to use 1/4 cup of flour and 1/4 cup of breadcrumbs… just make sure you have an equal amount of each.
As for the spices… It is a pinch of this, and a dash of that.
What spices do you like?
Well, chuck ‘em in the bowl. - Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
- Thinly slice your pickles into rounds, almost 1/4 inch (0.6cm) thick.
- These are not the thick sliced pickles that you use when you bread and deep fry them. These are thin, and the coating is light.
I tried thinner, but you could not taste the pickle; thicker, and they came out soggy…
And nobody likes a soggy pickle. - Add the flour, breadcrumbs, and spices to a bowl, and chuck in the pickle slices.
- Toss until thoroughly coated and let rest for about 5 minutes.
- While the pickles are resting pour about 1/8 (0.31cm) of oil into a skillet over medium heat.
Just enough to completely cover the bottom of the pan. - You will know the oil is ready, when you toss in a few breadcrumbs, and they begin to sizzle.
- Knock off any excess coating, then add the pickles in a single layer.
- Cook 1 – 2 minutes, then flip and cook an additional minute.
- Drain on paper towels.
- PLATE/PRESENT
- Serve by themselves or with a dipping sauce; like ranch dressing or BBQ sauce. Enjoy.
- Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
