Gluten-Free JOC Appetizer: Fried Pickles

Ingredients:

1 jar (16 oz) gluten-free dill pickle chips
1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 large eggs
1/4 cup buttermilk (gluten-free)
Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions:

In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).

Drain the pickle chips from the jar and pat them dry with paper towels.

Dip the pickle chips into the egg and buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.

Coat the pickle chips with the gluten-free flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Carefully place the coated pickle chips into the hot oil, in batches if necessary, and fry until they turn golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch.

Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried pickles from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
