Steps:
- 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.
- Serve with Ranch dressing and a dash of hot sauce.
Tips:
- Choose the right pickles: Look for pickles that are firm and have a good crunch. Avoid pickles that are too soft or mushy.
- Use a light breading: A heavy breading will make the pickles too greasy. Use a light coating of flour, cornmeal, or Panko breadcrumbs.
- Fry the pickles in hot oil: The oil should be at least 375 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help the pickles cook evenly and prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the pickles in batches so that they have plenty of room to fry. Overcrowding the pan will make the pickles steam instead of fry.
- Serve the pickles hot: Fried pickles are best served hot and crispy. You can serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or ketchup.
Conclusion:
Oven-baked fried pickles are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. They are perfect for parties or game day gatherings. With the right ingredients and a little bit of preparation, you can make oven-baked fried pickles that are just as good as the ones from your favorite restaurant.
