Instructions
Preheat oil to 370 degrees F.
In a medium sized bowl, combine batter ingredients using a whisk, until well incorporated. Set aside to rest for 5-10 minutes.
Meanwhile, lay out the dill pickles on paper towels to drain them. Dab the tops with paper towels to dry.
Using a slotted spoon or a fork, dip a pickle in the batter then gently drop into the hot oil. Fry in small batches for 3-4 minutes, until golden and crispy, then transfer to paper towel lined plate to drain.
Combine Ranch dressing and BBQ sauce. Serve the fried pickles with the BBQ Ranch dip or with your own choice of sauces.
Notes
While these are best served right away, they do hold up surprisingly well in the fridge once cooled completely and stored in a ziploc bag. Reheat in the oven or an air fryer. Note - they won't be as crispy as they are served fresh.
