Buffalo Wild Wings Copycat Fried Pickles
Buffalo Wild Wings Copycat Fried Pickles are a homemade rendition of the popular appetizer, featuring crispy pickles coated in a flavorful batter and deep-fried to golden perfection.
Equipment
- 1 Large frying pan
- 1 Mixing bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Tongs
- Slotted spoon or mesh skimmer
- Paper towels or wire rack
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole dill pickles (sliced and drained)
- ½ cup 4 oz all-purpose flour (divided)
- ¼ cup cornstarch or cornflour
- ½ tsp Italian Seasoning
- 2 tsp Cajun Seasoning
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
- salt to taste
- 1 cup cold soda water
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Pour 1 inch of oil into a large frying pan and heat to 375 degrees F.
- In a bowl, sift together all dry batter ingredients. Gradually stir in soda water until a smooth, lump-free batter forms. Refrigerate the batter while prepping the pickles.
- Pat the pickles dry with paper towels. Combine them with 4 oz of flour, tossing to evenly coat each pickle.
- Dip each flour-coated pickle slice into the chilled batter, ensuring a thorough coating.
- Carefully lower battered pickles into the hot oil using tongs, frying them one at a time until golden brown (about 1-2 minutes per side).
- Use a slotted spoon or mesh skimmer to remove the fried pickles from the oil. Place them on paper towels or a wire rack to drain excess oil and cool slightly.
- Serve the fried pickles immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or ketchup.
Notes
- Dry Pickles: Thoroughly pat the pickle slices dry to ensure the batter adheres well, preventing soggy results.
- Hot Oil: Heat the oil to the correct temperature before frying. This ensures crispy, golden brown pickles and avoids a greasy texture.
