This recipe for Fried Dill Pickle Spears is a grand ole Southern recipe that is going to be on my menu one weekend this fall.
As soon as football season starts I’ll invite over my couchgatin’ friends and we’ll munch down during the game.
I’ll have a lot of Ranch dressing for dipping!

Fried Dill Pickle Spears are a great appetizer in the southern tradition!
- 1 jar dill pickle spears
- 1 cup flour
- ½ cup plain yellow cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon seasoned salt
- 1 cup milk
- Vegetable Oil to cook in
- Ranch Dressing for dipping
Pour vegetable oil to a depth of at least ½ inch in medium-sized skillet and place over medium-high heat. Drain pickles and place spears on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb moisture while you prepare the breading.
Place cornmeal in a small bowl. Add ½ cup flour and seasoned salt. Stir until well combined. In a separate bowl, pour the remaining flour and place milk in a third bowl.
- Using your hands, dip a pickle into milk, then flour, then milk, then cornmeal breading. Repeat until all pickles are breaded.
- Carefully place pickles into hot oil and cook until browned, stirring once if needed, about ten minutes.
- Remove from skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Allow cooling for a few minutes before serving with ranch dressing.
