A simple recipe for perfectly crispy, tangy homemade dill pickle chips that are quick to make and perfect for snacking or parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 20–25 slices dill pickles, drained and patted dry
  • 3/4 cup (90g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (30g) cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 large eggs, beaten lightly
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) buttermilk or milk (dairy-free milk optional)
  • Vegetable oil or canola oil for frying, about 2 inches deep

Instructions

  1. Drain about 20-25 dill pickle slices and pat them dry with paper towels. Let them sit on a towel for 10 minutes.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup cornmeal, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional), salt, and pepper. Stir well.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat 2 large eggs with 1/4 cup buttermilk or milk until smooth.
  4. Pour about 2 inches of vegetable oil into a deep fryer or skillet and heat to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Dip each pickle slice into the egg wash, letting excess drip off, then dredge thoroughly in the flour-cornmeal mixture. Press lightly to ensure coating sticks.
  6. Carefully place a few coated pickles into the hot oil without overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate or cooling rack to drain excess oil.
  8. Let chips rest for a minute or two to firm up the coating, then serve warm.

Notes

Keep pickles dry before coating to ensure crispiness. Maintain oil temperature at 350°F to avoid soggy or greasy chips. Fry in small batches to keep oil temperature steady. For extra crispiness, double dip in egg wash and flour. Baking is an alternative but yields less crispy chips.
