* **Classic Fried Pickles:** This recipe provides step-by-step instructions for creating the traditional fried pickle experience. Using dill pickles, flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs, this recipe yields crispy pickles that are sure to satisfy.

ALMOST-FAMOUS FRIED PICKLES
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.

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.
FRIED PICKLES WITH PICKLED RANCH DIP
Fried pickles come in many shapes and sizes, but this recipe approaches them in a way that maximizes their crunch: First, it calls for pickle chips, which yield a better coating-to-filling ratio than pickle spears. Next, the pickles are patted dry to remove extra moisture, ensuring that the breading adheres to every nook and cranny. Finally, breading the pickles in a flour-buttermilk-bread-crumb sequence creates a robust crust. When frying breaded ingredients, be mindful of residual cooking: Remove your cooked items from the hot oil just before they reach their desired shade of golden brown, as they'll continue to cook - and darken - after being removed from the heat. Frying the pickles mutes their acidity, but adding chopped pickles to the dill-flecked creamy dip bumps up the brightness.

Steps:
- Line a large baking sheet with paper towels. Arrange 40 pickle chips (about 1 1/2 cups) in an even layer on top, and cover with another layer of paper towels, pressing gently to absorb excess moisture. Set aside.
- Prepare the pickled ranch dip: Finely chop the remaining 8 pickle chips. Transfer to a small bowl and add the mayonnaise, dill, chives, garlic salt (if using), onion powder and 1/3 cup buttermilk. Stir to combine, season to taste with salt and chill until ready to serve.
- Add the oil to a medium saucepan and heat over medium-high until oil comes to 375 degrees, about 5 minutes. Cover another baking sheet with paper towels for draining the fried pickles.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour with 2 teaspoons each salt and pepper. In another medium bowl, whisk the remaining 2/3 cup buttermilk with the hot sauce. Add the bread crumbs to a large shallow bowl. Working in about four batches, add about 10 pickle chips to the flour mixture and toss to coat. Transfer to the buttermilk mixture, turning until coated. Allow the excess buttermilk mixture to drip off, then transfer to the bread crumbs. Turn pickle chips to coat in bread crumbs, packing bread crumbs on top until chips are fully covered, and transfer them to a plate.
- Add coated pickles to the hot oil, dispersing them evenly, and cook, turning halfway through, until crisp and lightly browned, about 1 minute. Transfer to the paper towel-lined sheet pan. Repeat with remaining pickles, adjusting heat as needed to maintain oil at 375 degrees. Serve immediately, with pickled ranch dip.
