The other evening Justin decided he was going to make chicken strips. We had some Cajun chicken fry mix in the cabinet that he breaded the chicken in. I thought fried pickles sounded good, so instead of making a different batter, we just used the same one. They were very good! I found a baked fried pickle recipe on Pinterest that I included as well.
Pickles spears or slices (We went with spears)
Cajun Injector Chicken Fry Mix
2 eggs beaten
Oil for frying
Directions
Heat oil to fry in. Whisk eggs together. Dip a pickle spear in egg, then the batter and repeat again; egg, batter. Place in the oil and fry. Repeat the process with each pickle. After the pickles are lightly browned on both sides, remove from the oil and let drain on a paper towel or coffee filter. Enjoy!
A healthier version baking instead of frying:
Ingredients
1 jar pickle slices
2 eggs
1/3 cup flour
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp hot sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
1 tsp pepper
1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs
Directions
Turn oven broiler on high.
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and flour. Add Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, garlic powder, Cajun seasoning, and pepper. Mix well.
Place panko bread crumbs in a shallow dish. Dunk each pickle slice into the egg mixture, than dredge it in the panko bread crumbs.
Place coated pickles on a rack set above a baking sheet and sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Place pan in the middle rack of the oven. Broil for about 3 minutes on each side.
