These crispy fried pickles are a delicious snack or appetizer, especially when paired with cool, creamy, and spicy Sriracha Ranch Dip!
Do you remember when fried pickles first became a “thing”?
Most of my friends were grossed out by them, but I was obsessed. When they started to pop up at local bars or chain restaurants, I was usually the only person in the group who wanted to order them.
I think fried pickles are very much a love them or hate them kind of food. And I’m definitely on the love ’em team.
I’ve always been a huge lover of pickles. I love pickled anything, and can’t get enough of the briny and acidic flavor. And fried pickles? Now that’s just next-level. They’re the perfect finger food or bar snack. Crunchy, salty, savory, and tangy all in one bite.
There is one caveat to my pickle loving ways, though. I only like dill pickles.
And Bubbies are my favorite. Bubbies makes the absolute best naturally fermented dill pickles. They contain no sugar, vinegar, or preservatives and they have the perfect blend of spices.
I think you can really taste the difference with Bubbies’ pickles. I’m a huge fan of all of their products, actually, including Bubbies sauerkraut, horseradish, and spicy pickles.
And Bubbies kosher dill pickles make the very best fried pickles!
Fried pickles are fairly easy to make. The batter is everything you likely have in your pantry — flour, salt, spices — and a few fridge staples.
The perfect dip for these pickles is a cool and creamy homemade ranch dip. This dip comes together in just minutes and is complemented by a kick of heat from Sriracha.
No matter who you put this plate of fried pickles in front of, it’s impossible to resist. Serve these pickles at your next game night, backyard shindig, or your version of weekday happy hour!

These crispy fried pickles are a delicious snack or appetizer, especially when paired with cool, creamy, and spicy Sriracha Ranch Dip!
Ingredients
For the Pickles
- 1 jar Bubbies dill pickles
- 1 cup flour
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 egg
- Vegetable oil, for frying
For the Ranch Dip:
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 1–2 teaspoons Sriracha
- 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Make the Ranch Dip:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and sour cream. Add in the buttermilk while whisking until combined. Whisk in the chopped chives, Sriracha, dill, garlic powder, chopped parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld.
Make the Fried Pickles:
- Slice the pickles into 1/4″ slices and spread them out to drain well on paper towels.
- In a cast iron pan or frying pan, heat 2 inches of oil to 375°F.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, pepper, cayenne, garlic powder, Cajun seasoning, and paprika.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg.
- Dredge the pickles in the flour mixture, then the buttermilk mixture, and then back into the flour mixture. Shake off excess flour and drop into the hot oil one at a time, taking care not to overcrowd the pan. You will fry all of the pickles in about 6 batches.
- Fry until golden brown on both sides, turning once, about 3-5 minutes total. Remove the pickles from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Serve pickles warm with the ranch dip. Enjoy!
