Tips for Crispy Fried Pickles
For best results, only use a little of the breadcrumbs at a time to keep them from getting too wet from the batter. Choose an oil that is specifically made for frying like vegetable oil, shortening, or lard. These oils have a higher ‘smoke point’ and can tolerate higher temperatures. Always make sure the oil is hot enough to cook with, or else the pickles will simply absorb the oil and they won’t be crunchy. Reheat leftover deep-fried dill pickles in an air fryer or place them under the broiler until they get crispy again.
