Why order these at a restaurant when you can make them at home?
Fried pickles are one of my favorite appetizers/snacks. If they are featured on a menu at a restaurant I visit, I am unable to avoid ordering them. I tried several different recipes to make my own and was never satisfied....until I created this one. Southernized with buttermilk and cornmeal, these fried pickles are quick and simple and go perfectly with the tart buttermilk-lime dressing.

Step 1
To make the dressing, blend 1/2 cup buttermilk, the mayonnaise, the sour cream, the lime juice and zest, the green onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the sriracha in a blender until smooth OR finely chop the onion and then whisk all the ingredients together. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Step 2
Pour about half an inch of oil into a 9-10 inch skillet (I use my 9-inch cast iron skillet). Place over medium heat.
Step 3
While the oil is heating, whisk the dry ingredients in a large bowl, then add the buttermilk and whisk to make a thick batter.
Step 4
Place half of the pickle chips into the batter and use tongs to toss them to coat in the batter. When the oil is shimmering, place the chips in a single layer in the pan.
Step 5
Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until brown. Remove to paper towels and repeat with remaining pickles. Serve immediately.
