Crispy Fried Pickle Dogs

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Fried Pickle Dogs.

1. Step 1

   Start by slicing your kosher dill pickles lengthwise into strips, creating the perfect crunchy addition to your dish.

2. Step 2

   Next, set up a simple breading station: in a shallow dish, pour in some flour.

3. Step 3

   In another dish, whisk together beaten eggs and a tablespoon of spicy brown mustard for a flavorful twist.

4. Step 4

   In a third dish, combine cornmeal with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to add a bit of zing.

5. Step 5

   Now, let’s get cooking! Heat canola oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers invitingly.

6. Step 6

   Take each pickle slice and dip it first into the flour, ensuring it’s well-coated.

7. Step 7

   Then, immerse it in the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off, and finally, roll it in the cornmeal mixture for that perfect crunch.

8. Step 8

   Gently place the coated pickle slices into the hot oil, listening for that satisfying sizzle.

9. Step 9

   Fry the pickle slices until they turn a beautiful golden brown, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes on one side.

10. Step 10

    Flip them over and let them cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until they’re equally golden on the other side.

11. Step 11

    Once done, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

12. Step 12

    Repeat this process with the remaining pickle slices, savoring the aroma wafting through your kitchen.

13. Step 13

    After frying the pickles, carefully pour off most of the oil from the skillet, leaving just a little behind for the next step.

14. Step 14

    Fill a saucepan with water and bring it to a boil.

15. Step 15

    Add your hot dogs and then remove the pot from the heat, allowing the hot dogs to sit in the hot water for about 5 minutes.

16. Step 16

    This will keep them juicy and delicious.

17. Step 17

    Once they’ve cooled slightly, wrap each hot dog with a strip of bacon, securing it with a toothpick if you like.

18. Step 18

    Return to your skillet with the reserved oil and fry the bacon-wrapped hot dogs over medium heat.

19. Step 19

    Turn them occasionally until the bacon is crispy and golden, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.

20. Step 20

    The smell will be irresistible! Now it’s time to assemble your masterpiece.

21. Step 21

    Spread the remaining spicy mustard on toasted hot dog buns, then nestle a bacon-wrapped hot dog into each bun.

22. Step 22

    Don’t forget to tuck in those crispy fried pickle slices for an extra crunch.

23. Step 23

    Repeat this delightful process with the rest of your ingredients, and get ready to enjoy a mouthwatering treat that’s sure to impress!.
