FAQs
Can I use whole pickles instead of slices?
Yes, but it may be harder to coat them evenly and they will take longer to fry.
What is the best oil for frying?
Vegetable oil or canola oil are great options for frying since they have a high smoke point.
Can I bake these pickles instead of frying?
Yes, you can bake them! Just coat them as usual and place them on a baking sheet. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
