Bummed that Freddy's removed the fried pickles from their menu. I'm sure they can be made better at home any way, so I humbly turn to the F&S board for their best recipes for fried pickles and dipping sauce. Thank you in advance.

Never had the pickles at Freddy's, but making them at home is pretty simple. Just depends on if you want a wet batter or a dry one. I.e.: how much coating do you want? Want a thick coating, use wet. Thin, then dry.
Dry: Mix together some flour and cornmeal and spices, dredge the pickles and toss them in hot oil.
Wet: Mix together some flour and spices in one bowl and milk and eggs in another bowl, dredge in dry then in wet then in dry again and toss them in hot oil.
An easy comeback sauce is just mayo, ketchup, hot sauce, worcestershire and whatever other spices you want.

The question is chips or Spears?

I disagree, but thats life. Have a recipe for yours you care to share?
I don't have it. Sadly. I do know that rinsing pickles is important.Electrical_Ag said:Cow Hop Ag said:

I'd say dry. What spices would you recommend? The recipe needs to be kid friendly as well.

Wonder what rinsing the pickles does?
Garlic, paprika, pepper. Very little salt, if any.
And spears!
And spears!
Just had the best fried pickles in my life at Revival Brews in Evergreen, CO. They were "chicken fried" and I never want to eat fried pickles any other way.
and fried pickles have to be spears!

I think it reduces the salt content so they taste better.
I like the ones at Stuttgarden in Kemah & Galveston, but that's because of the kind of pickle they use.
Only chips! Spears bring too much pickle flavor
Agree that chips produce the right pickle-to-breading ratio.
And if you're looking to kick the heat up some, do half pickle chips and half pickled jalapeno slices.

those promoting spears may as well move to communist china.

Ever tried them at their sister restaurant (River Point in LJ)?
Yes I have. I like the Freeport ones better for some reason.

spears vs chips
the next great debate!

chips, in addition to being a superior product, are more shareable and require less accounting. spears are the equivalent of getting a few fried whole tortillas with your queso instead of a basket of chips. this is not where we want to be as a society.
And unfortunately because they are in spears, they end up tasting like pickles rather than just fried batter and ranch dressing
Hey i eat plain pickles & ranch dressing at home as a snack all the time

That's all slices are// batter and ranch, you're right.
The two best fried pickles in town are Katz' Neva Kloses and Pluckers.. both Spears, no coincidence.
For slices, I lay them out on paper towels, with another row over them. Top with a a cookie sheet, and let them dry for a while. Batter or dusting sticks better.
The answer is neither pickle chips or spears.... it is sandwich slice style!!!

Reviving for summer '19. Looking to fry some up for July 4th.
Better to batter or dredge? I've only ever done dry. Will a batter yield superior results?

Why not due both and let your guests decide?

I will definitely be trying out some of these recipes. I am a large fried pickle enthusiast!
No to spears?
Might as well throw balls of batter in the fryer.
Pluckers are the best.
