Deep-Fried Dill Pickle Chips
I like to dip my deep-fried dill pickle chips in Hidden Valley Ranch dressing, whereas the hubby prefers ketchup. To each his own, I say.
Deep-Fried Dill Pickle Chips
The flavor of a deep-fried dill pickle chips is somewhat like fried green tomatoes. Both are salty, tangy, and crunchy. Dipped in your choice of dressing, either snack is delicious. I like to dip mine in Hidden Valley Ranch dressing, whereas the hubby prefers ketchup. To each his own, I say.
Homemade Pickles
You can make your own pickle chips by slicing your cucumbers crossways and putting Mrs. Wages Dill Pickle brine on them in a jar. A couple of days later, you can use your own pickles to make deep-fried pickles.
The hubby cross-cut our pickles with a ripple cutter. It was time-consuming, but they seem to be firmer. He cut them approximately 3/8 inch thick. He placed the cut cucumber slices in the jars, and I mixed up the brine mix and poured it into the jars and sealed them using a water bath canner for 10 minutes.

I can visualize the pickle shelf in our Walmart store, and there is probably a thick-cut pickle waiting for you to deep fry if you would rather purchase store-bought pickle chips.
