COPYCAT RECIPE: FAMOUS SOUTHERN FRIED PICKLES RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Preheat about 2-inches of oil in a large (8 quart) pot to 350°F. Prepare a tray with double paper towel stack. Set aside. In a medium bowl combine buttermilk, egg, and hot sauce. Beat with a fork to combine. Drain pickle juice from pickle jar, add pickles to buttermilk mixture. Stir to combine. In a separate bowl whisk together flour, paprika, garlic powder and cayenne pepper. Add about a handful of pickles to flour mixture. Swirl pickles around and make sure they are well coated. Shake off excess flour and drop pickles in hot oil one at a time. Only put 7-8 pickles at a time so the temperature does not drop too much. Fry pickles for 3-5 minutes until they are golden brown. Remove from oil with a slotted spoon and drain on a tray lined with paper towels. Serve and enjoy! They are traditionally served with a horseradish or spicy ranch sauce,
