      2. Soak in Buttermilk<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      Place the pickle chips in a bowl and pour the buttermilk over them. Let them soak for 10\u201315 minutes. This helps the breading stick and adds flavor.<\/p>\n

        Mix until well combined.<\/p>\n

        Remove pickles from the buttermilk, letting excess drip off.
        Dredge each pickle slice in the flour-cornmeal mixture until fully coated.<\/p>\n

        6. Fry<\/strong><\/h3>\n

        Fry the pickles in small batches for 2\u20134 minutes<\/strong>, or until golden brown and crisp.
