These are is a perfect tailgating or half-time treat during college football,  the Super Bowl or just about anytime you need a delicious crunchy fix. You will want to eat them all, so make sure to double or triple if you are feeding a crowd!

Ingredients for Pickles
1 egg

¾ cup cornstarch, divided
½ cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon each paprika, salt, pepper
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
About 3 dozen dill pickle slices
Canola oil

Ingredients for Fry's Dippin' Sauce

¼ teaspoon oregano
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 dash cayenne pepper


First, assemble Dippin' Sauce and refrigerate until ready to eat. 


With a whisk, beat egg and milk in small mixing bowl. Place 1/4 cup cornstarch in another shallow dish. In a third dish, mix 1/2 cup cornstarch & cornmeal with the rest of the ingredients above.


Dip cold pickle slices in the plain cornstarch, then the egg wash then the cornmeal mixture. Set aside.
