Deep Fried Pickles

Ingredients:

• 15-20 round pickle slices
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup milk
• hot sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire
• 1/2 cup flour, divided
• 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
• kosher salt
• oil for frying, such as canola or vegetable

Instructions:

1. Lay pickle slices on a paper towel and pat dry.
2. In bowl whisk together egg, milk, a couple drops of hot sauce, Worcestershire and 1/4 cup flour.
3. In another bowl mix together remaining 1/4 cup flour, panko bread crumbs, garlic powder and ground pepper.
4. Dip a dried pickle into batter then dredge into panko mixture to coat completely. Transfer to a plate, repeat with remaining pickles. Allow to sit while the oil heats.
5. Heat 1 inch of oil in a sauce pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil starts to shimmer, sprinkle in a pinch of flour. If it sizzles the oil is hot enough. Fry pickles in batches until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes. Transfer to paper towel lined plate. Sprinkle with kosher salt. Serve immediately.
