fried pickles

Hot brined slices

Fried pickles are pickle slices or spears coated in batter or breading and deep-fried until crispy.

A staple of American bar food and Southern cuisine, they're typically served with ranch dressing or a spicy dipping sauce: We ordered fried pickles as an appetizer.

The tangy pickle contrasts with the crunchy exterior.
