    Crispy Fried Pickles

    Crispy fried pickles with just a hint of spice are the perfect game day snack! Serve them with remoulade, ranch, or your favorite dipping sauce.

    Crispy Fried Pickles

    Fall is upon us and that means just one thing around here… football! While tailgating may not be an option (damn you, covid!) you can still enjoy game day with your quaran-team and that means you’ll be needing snacks!

    There’s nothing like a batch of crispy, crunchy fried pickles to munch on during the game!

    Crispy Fried Pickles

    If you’ve been around here long, this batter might look familiar and there’s a good reason for that! This mixture of flour, cornmeal, and Cajun seasoning is not just for fried pickles.

    It’s also the perfect batter for fried green tomatoes, fried squash, and fried oysters! It’s light, crispy, and has just a hint of Cajun spice. The cornmeal gives it exactly the right amount of crunch for the perfect fried pickles.

    If you’re unsure about which Cajun seasoning to use we invite you to check out our favorite – Tony Chachere’s.

    Be sure to check out below to find more snacks perfect for your game day get together!

    What do I serve with fried pickles?

    Of course, fried pickles are delicious all on their own, but if you must dip them, I love ranch, or remoulade if you want to continue the Cajun flair. I even like to give my ranch dressing a little Cajun flavor with a few dashes of Tabasco, but that’s just me.

    Fried pickles are definitely a southern treat. If you love southern cuisine like we do you’ll want to read up on it more.

        They’re a favorite in the south, Emmeline!

        Do you mean a substitute for buttermilk? If so, we tell you how to make two different versions in our Three Ingredient Buttermilk Biscuit post.
