Instructions
Prepare the Dipping Sauce: In a small bowl, combine all Dipping Sauce ingredients and mix well. Set aside.
Prepare the Breading: In a shallow dish, combine all Breading ingredients and mix well.
Prepare the Wet Batter: In another shallow dish, whisk together all Wet Batter ingredients.
Dredge the Pickles: Dip each Pickle Chip into the Wet Batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, dredge the pickle in the Breading mixture, pressing to adhere.
Fry the Pickles: Heat Vegetable Oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the breaded Pickle Chips in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.
Fry for 2-3 minutes per batch, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain.
Serve immediately with the prepared Dipping Sauce.
