How to make Fried Pickles with Zesty Ranch Dip
- **Prepare the Zesty Ranch Dip:** In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, chives, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- **Prepare the Fried Pickles:** Drain pickle chips thoroughly and pat them very dry with paper towels. This is crucial for crispiness.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In another shallow dish, pour the buttermilk.
- Dip each pickle chip into the buttermilk, letting excess drip off, then dredge thoroughly in the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Place coated pickles on a wire rack.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat to 350-375°F (175-190°C).
- Fry pickles in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot, for 2-3 minutes per batch, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove fried pickles with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve hot with the Zesty Ranch Dip.
