Fried Pickles

Who doesn’t love enjoying Fried Pickles during football season?!?!?! I know my family and I love some good homemade Fried Pickles on any occasion, but during football we love appetizers on Sundays.  Fried Pickles are an easy appetizer to make and it does seem that a lot of people love them.  To help save time I prep my pickles ahead of time by coating in the batter and placing on a baking sheet, making sure for them not to touch. Then I place the pickles in the freezer until I am ready to fry them. If you have never given this shortcut method a try you are missing out.

Be sure to check out our Tailgating Recipes Roundup that has an abundance of recipes great for watching football! I often think of fried pickles as something I can only get when I am eating out. That is why I thought why not make these for our next game day! I am so glad I did because my family went wild for them. They are truly the perfect party food.
