Delicious Deep Fried Pickles

Ingredients

• 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
• 3 cups Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 egg
• 1 cup milk
• 4 dill pickles, quartered lengthwise

Directions

Combine bread crumbs, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper in a bowl; set aside. Whisk egg and milk together in a separate bowl. Dip dill pickle spears into the egg mixture, then into the bread crumb mixture until well-coated. Dip the pickles in the egg and bread crumb mixtures a second time so each spear is double coated. Arrange pickles in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the freezer until the breading is set, about 30 minutes.

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Fry the pickles in the preheated oil until light golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
