Fried Pickles from Hooters
Haven’t tried the Fried Pickles at Hooters? Well, you are missing one hell of a crunchy and tangy treat, so you better make yourself some. The real secret behind the Hooters Pickles are soaking them in beer. Then again, it’s probably great with beer…
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole-wheat flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2½ teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 jar dill pickle slices
- 2 cups buttermilk
The how to
Preheat 8 cups of vegetable oil to 350 degrees in a large pot. Drain dill pickles in a colander and then place into a medium sized bowl with the 2 cups of buttermilk. Place all dry ingredients into a bowl and mix well. Take about a handful of the pickles out of the buttermilk and dredge into the seasoned flour. Shake off excess flour, and place battered pickles into hot grease. Be careful not to place too many pickles into the hot grease or the pickles won’t fry up crisp. Fry pickle slices until golden brown. Continue cooking pickles until all are done.
