Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Zesty Dill Pickles
  1. Begin by draining the dill pickle slices thoroughly and patting them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the large eggs and milk until smooth to create a rich egg wash.
  3. In another shallow bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and ground black pepper.
  4. Place the panko breadcrumbs in a third shallow bowl.
  5. Take each dried pickle slice and dredge it in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg wash, and coat with panko breadcrumbs.
  6. In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F.
  7. Carefully add the breaded pickles to the hot oil in small batches, frying for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden-brown.
  8. Once fried, transfer the pickles to paper towel-lined plates to drain excess oil.
  9. Serve your Crispy Zesty Dill Pickles immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
