Almost-Famous Fried Pickles image

Most of the things that make this steakhouse stand out - line-dancing servers, cowboy decor, huge portions - are direct imports from the Lone Star State. But the fried pickles hail from Colorado, where one Texas Roadhouse started serving the dish after a manager's wife had a craving for them. The deep-fried pickles were such a hit, they showed up at all 360 locations in no time. Food Network Kitchens re-created the recipe so you can fry up a batch yourself.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon drained horseradish
2 teaspoons ketchup
1/4 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
Peanut or vegetable oil, for frying
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 3/4 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt
2 cups sliced dill pickles, drained

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: Mix the mayonnaise, horseradish, ketchup and Cajun seasoning in a bowl; set aside.
  • Fry the pickles: Heat 1 inch peanut oil in a pot over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees F. Meanwhile, whisk the flour, Cajun seasoning, Italian seasoning, cayenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup water in a large bowl until smooth. Spread the pickles on paper towels and pat dry.
  • Add half of the pickles to the batter and toss to coat. Remove from the batter using a slotted spoon, letting the excess drip off, and add to the oil one at a time. Fry until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes; remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Return the oil to 375 degrees F and repeat with the remaining pickles and batter. Serve immediately with the prepared sauce.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

One 16-ounce jar dill pickle chips
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
1 cup buttermilk
A couple of dashes hot sauce
1 1/2 cups panko
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup mayonnaise
4 teaspoons ketchup
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning

Steps:

  • For the pickles: Preheat a 3.5-quart air fryer to 390 degrees F. Set a wire rack inside a baking sheet.
  • Drain the pickles and spread them out on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Pat dry with more paper towels, pressing gently to remove as much moisture as possible. Eliminate any pickles with large holes or ones that are very thin.
  • Set up a breading station using 3 medium bowls: Whisk together the flour, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning in one bowl. In the second bowl combine the buttermilk and hot sauce. In the last combine the panko, Italian seasoning, the remaining 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Drizzle in the oil and use your hands to toss and coat the panko.
  • Working in small batches, bread the pickles: First, toss a handful of pickles in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Then dunk them in the buttermilk mixture to completely coat, shaking to remove any excess. Finally, toss them in the panko, pressing gently to make it adhere. Arrange the breaded pickles on the prepared baking sheet and repeat until all the pickles are breaded.
  • Arrange one-third of the breaded pickles in the basket of the air fryer in a single layer. Cook for 8 minutes, the pickles will be very crunchy and browned on both sides. Remove to a serving plate and repeat with the remaining two batches of pickles.
  • For the dipping sauce: Meanwhile, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish and Cajun seasoning in small bowl.
  • Serve the warm pickles with the dipping sauce or use them and the dipping sauce to top your favorite burger.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pickes, preferably dills, for the best flavor and texture.
  • Soak the pickles in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes before frying, this will help them stay moist and juicy.
  • Use a light batter, made with flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper. The batter should be thick enough to coat the pickles, but not too thick that it overpowers the pickle flavor.
  • Heat the oil to 375 degrees Fahrenheit before frying the pickles. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Fry the pickles in batches, do not overcrowd the pan, as this will cause the oil temperature to drop and the pickles will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the pickles until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Drain the pickles on paper towels to remove excess oil before serving.
  • Season the pickles with salt and pepper, or your favorite seasonings, to taste.
  • Serve the pickles hot, with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or tartar sauce.
