Instructions:
- Prep the Pickles: Drain and pat dry the pickle slices to remove excess moisture. This helps the coating stick better.
- Set Up Breading Station: Place the flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and mix panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, dill, paprika, salt, and pepper in a third bowl.
- Bread the Pickles: Dredge each pickle slice in flour, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the seasoned panko mixture. Press lightly to ensure the breadcrumbs stick.
- Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat about 1 inch of oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the Pickles: Carefully place the breaded pickles in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry each side for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain and Serve: Remove the fried pickles from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with a side of ranch or your favorite dipping sauce.
