Dill Pickle Chips

Ingredients

2 pints sliced dill pickles undrained
1 egg beaten
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons ground red pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Vegetable oil

Method

Drain pickles, reserving 2/3 cup pickle juice. Press pickles between paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Combine 2/3 cup pickle juice, egg, 1 tablespoon flour, and hot sauce; set aside. Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, red pepper, garlic powder, and salt; stir well. Dip pickles in reserved egg mixture; dredge in flour mixture.

Fry coated pickles in batches in hot oil (375 degrees) for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden, turning once. Drain pickle chips on paper towels. Serve immediately.

This recipe yields about 10 1/2 dozen chips.

Comments: This recipe takes advantage of pickles you may already have canned or you may use commercial dill pickles.
