Ingredients

2 tsp. Louisiana Fish Fry Products Cajun Seasoning

1 Tbsp. garlic powder
1 cup buttermilk

Directions

Drain the juice from a pickle jar and refill it with buttermilk, Cajun Seasoning, and garlic powder. Allow the pickles to soak in the buttermilk brine for at least one hour. Remove the pickles from the brine and reserve the liquid to make the dipping sauce.
Pour New Orleans-Style Fish Fry into a shallow bowl. Firmly press the pickles into the breading mix until they are completely coated.
Heat oil in a deep pot to 350˚F. Working in batches, carefully add the coated pickles to the hot oil and fry for about 4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
For dipping sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the reserved buttermilk brine with dill, paprika, and mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the crispy pickle chips with the dipping sauce and enjoy!
