Fried Pickles are pickles coated in a beer batter and fried until crispy and delicious.
One last Superbowl idea for you!
I don’t usually like doing fried foods when I’m entertaining. They take a lot of time and since you can’t really do them ahead of time, you wind up spending most of your time standing over the stove.
But as we all know, fried foods are almost always crowd-pleasers! These fried pickles take no time at all so they’re perfect for cooking up right as your guests are walking through the door
And umm… fried pickles? One of man’s greatest inventions!
Ingredients
- Pickles – I buy the already sliced pickles for fried pickles.
- Egg
- Beer – no need to use an expensive beer, you aren’t really going to taste it. It makes for a really nice, light batter.
- Flour
- Oil – I recommend vegetable oil, canola oil, or peanut oil for frying.
How To Make Fried Pickles
- Prep. Heat oil over medium-high in a heavy pot.
- Make batter. Whisk together egg, 1 cup beer, flour, and salt until smooth.
- Batter the pickles. Once oil is hot, dip pickles, one at a time, in the batter. Allow excess batter to drip off and then drop the pickles in the oil.
- Fry. Fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side.
How Long Are Fried Pickles Good For?
Fried pickles are best served when freshly fried but they will stay good for up to 4 days after frying. Make sure to store them in an airtight container in the fridge.
I would reheat them in the air fryer if you have one. Otherwise, you can heat them in the oven or microwave.

I am so behind and have so much catching up to do on your posts, but I would just like to say that I am a pickle fiend and I have been wanting stuff my face with fried pickles (or “frickles”, haha) for so long!! My other friend Amanda told me last year about the ones they serve at Yankee Stadium (we were talking ball park food, ha) and I went berserk! I would go to town on your plate :D

One of our favorites. Beer batter makes for a great fish taco! Also, great as a braising liquid for a pot roast. Insaaaane gravy!

I was thinking of doing a baked version of these, but after seeing these, I think baking them may be sacrilegious!

I’ve never had them but hear they’re amazing. I guess that, along with red velvet, is something I should put on my to eat list for the year?
