Notes / Tips

  • Dry the pickle chips really well before breading so the coating sticks and crisps properly.

  • Cook in a single layer for the best crunchy texture. Work in batches if needed.

Variations

  • Make them spicy by adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the breadcrumb mixture.

  • Swap the ranch for spicy mayo or garlic dip for a different flavor.
