Addicting Fried Dill Pickles!

What you need:

• Flour 
• 1/2 cup Panko
• 1/4 cup bread crumbs
• 1 teaspoon dill weed
• 1/2 teaspoon each: cayenne, paprika, garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (you may want to omit salt if your pickles are really salty)
• a dash of pepper
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon dill pickle juice
• 8 dill pickle spears
• vegetable oil (for frying)
• ranch dressing (for dipping)

What to do:

1. In a shallow bowl, whisk egg, milk, and dill pickle juice together.  Set aside.
2. In another shallow bowl, combine Panko, bread crumbs, dill weed, cayenne, paprika, garlic powder, pepper and salt (if your adding salt). 
3. On a plate, put approximately 1/3 cup of flour.  
4. At this point, I tend to make an assembly line with the plate and two bowls.  Put the plate w/ the flour first, then the egg batter, and then the Panko mixture.
5. Coat the pickles in flour.  
6. One at a time, put the pickle into the egg batter, coating all the sides, and then place the pickle in the Panko mixture, coating all the sides.  
7. Repeat for all the pickles.  
8. Heat vegetable oil in small, shallow pan.
9. When appropriate temperature is met, add pickles.
10. Fry each pickle for approximately 2 minutes, (one minute on each side), until golden brown. (you can fry pickles in batches of 3-4).
11. When done frying, place pickles on a plate with a paper towel, and allow the paper towel to absorb the oil.
12. Serve with ranch dressing, and enjoy! :)

I LOVE making and eating these fried pickles!  After about 3 years of experimenting with different recipes, this is what I've come up with.  I hope you enjoy them as much as my family and I do!
