Ingredients

1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1 1/4 cups flour divided
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon sriracha
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 cup vegetable oil
16 ounce jar sliced dill pickles drained

Instructions

Drain dill pickles. Set aside.
Combine egg, milk, 1/4 cup flour, garlic powder, pepper, and sriracha in a mixing bowl. Mix well. Add drained pickles and stir well. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine cornmeal and 1 cup flour. Mix well.
Heat oil in a large skillet. Remove pickles, one at a time, from the egg mixture, and dip in flour mixture coating well. Place in the hot oil and fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm with Ranch Dressing as a dipping sauce.

Notes

*Make sure your oil is hot enough before adding the pickles. Your oil needs to be around 375 degrees or so. If not, you will end up with some soggy pickles, and that is never a good thing.
*Add a few pickles at a time. It is normal for the temperature to drop after adding the pickles. It only takes about a minute, and the temperature will rise, and you can continue to add more pickles to the skillet or fryer.
