Arkansas Fried Pickles

January 20, 2019 by Grace Leave a Comment

This page may contain affiliate links. So, I receive a small commission at no cost to you when you make a purchase using my link. This post is about delicious Arkansas Fried Pickles!

Fried Pickles and ranch dressing

I’ve only passed through Arkansas on the way to a different destination, but I hope to one day visit the Hot Springs area to explore Hot Springs National Park (U.S. National Park Service) as well as the Garvan Woodland Gardens which is the botanical garden of the University of Arkansas.  At the Woodland Gardens, you can visit the Anthony Chapel, which is a  stunning cathedral made out of glass and wood Anthony Chapel Complex – Garvan Woodland Gardens.  


It should come as no surprise that a food that is famous in Arkansas is a fried delicacy!  Let me introduce the fried pickle!  I was skeptical about it until I tasted it and now I am a fan.  It makes a great party/finger food/appetizer, and a talking point to people who’ve never imagined eating such a thing as a fried pickle.  Try it and see for yourself. 😉

Fried Pickles Are Super Duper Easy To Make!

Around 15 minutes is all you need to prepare this delicacy! You simply need to bread the pickles in a mix of seasoned corn meal, and then fry in a skillet. Truly it’s that easy!

  • Place the fried pickles onto a paper towel lined plate to absorb excess oil.

Notes

That’s it! Enjoy your pickles on their own, or dipped into a delicious Ranch dressing, and enjoy a taste of Arkansas!
Please note:  this recipe is easily halved.  Do use 1 egg and 1 tbsp milk but halve all the other ingredients for 2 servings.  You will have some of the egg and milk mixture leftover.  I microwaved the leftover mixture and gave it to my dog Toby.  No waste! 🙂

About Me

Hi I’m Grace! I'm married and a mom to my fur baby, Toby, and food and travel are two of my greatest passions! Since our bank account does not allow us to travel or eat out as much as we'd like, I decided I would cook delicious meals that could give us a taste of all the places we'd like to go. My goal is to get you in the kitchen, and inspire you to cook and taste delightful meals that will transport you too. Let’s throw some actual travel in from time to time, all with an emphasis on keeping your wallet full and happy as well. Let’s get cooking and let’s start exploring!! I'm excited to be on this journey with you!!

By the way most of these recipes are Toby taste tested and Toby approved!!
