Instructions
Remove pickle slices from dry and pat dry with a paper towel. Set aside.
Heat vegetable oil in dutch oven or large stock pot until it reaches approximately 350°.
Combine all-purpose flour, pepper, pepper, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, onion powder. Slowly pour in beer while whisking.
Dip pickles, a few at a time, in batter. Remove and allow excess batter to drip off. Immediately transfer to bowl of rice flour, flip until coated, and let rest on cooling rack until ready to fry. Complete until all pickles are coated.
Drop pickles into heated oil; do not crowd the pan, you will need to do several batches depending on the size of your pan. Fry pickles for approximately 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove and set on cooling rack with a paper towel underneath to soak up excess oil.
DRESSING: Whisk together buttermilk, mayonnaise, garlic, salt, dill, and parsley.
Notes
You can really use any type of pickles you'd like; we like using the burger slices because they're obviously bigger, but regular slices or even spears will work.Store dressing in an airtight container; keep refrigerated.
