Ingredients

  • 4 to 6 cups vegetable oil
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons dry ranch dressing mix (from 1-oz package)
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups Progresso™ panko crispy bread crumbs
  • 12 crisp pickle spears

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oil in deep fryer or 12-inch skillet to 375°F.
  • 2
    Meanwhile, in shallow bowl, stir together flour and dressing mix. In another shallow bowl, beat eggs with whisk. In third shallow bowl, place bread crumbs.
  • 3
    Dip each pickle spear into flour mixture, then into egg. Dip into flour a second time, then into egg a second time. Coat pickle spear with bread crumbs.
  • 4
    After all pickles have been breaded, fry in hot oil 2 to 3 minutes, turning once, or until deep golden brown. Drain fried pickles on cooling rack or paper towels.

  • For the crispiest pickle spears, buy whole pickles from the refrigerated section of your supermarket, and cut them into spears for the recipe.
  • For a thinner breading, you can replace 2 of the eggs with 1 cup milk, and only dip in the flour and egg once, instead of twice.
