Recipe Courtesy of Uncle Bubba's Oyster HouseDifficulty: Easy
1 24-ounce Jar Kosher dill pickle spears or slices
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup Louisiana hot sauce (I like Texas Pete)
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 gal peanut oil
2 cups Uncle Bubba’s Fry Mix
Drain the juice from the pickle jar and refill the jar with the garlic powder, hot sauce, and buttermilk. Marinate the pickles for at least 30 minutes.
In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, heat the oil to 350 degrees F. Drain the pickles. Put the fry mix in a large mixing bowl, and toss the pickles to coat thoroughly. Shake off the excess mix by tossing lightly in a strainer and deep fry the pickles in batches for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the size of the spears.
When golden brown, remove the pickles from the oil with a clean strainer or slotted metal spoon and place on paper towels to drain off any excess oil. Serve immediately.

I ADORE fried pickles! Had them at a local wing shop and loved them. I am going to try this to make them at home. So excited! I follow just about everything you and the boys do. So happy to see you are doing well. Do you have any diabetic specific recipes I can try? Learning to cook for my Dad who is a diabetic. Much Love!!!!

Paula, You are my hero. I love all your recipes. I would love to come & learn to cook w/you - although I know it is just a dream. I wish you had a contest or somethihng where a home cook could win a cooking lesson or so w/you. Also, my mom used to make what she called "pool room slaw." I don't care for slaw but this was the exception. I can't find a recipe for it & my mom has since passed. If you could help I would be forever in your debt. One of your biggest fans in the great state of Texas. SIncerely - Pam Lippold

It would seem that no one is answering the reader comments so I will address a few. To Linda: any prepackaged fish fry mix will work, or you can mix your own using the recipe available from the internet. To Miranda: What a waste, using extra virgin olive oil when pure olive oil is what you use for frying. Extra virgin olive oil breaks down under heat and is for use as a salad oil. Next time use pure olive oil or canola oil. To Tammi: If your son is alergic to peanut oil, use canola oil. It will work just fine. This recipe will also work for fried green tomatoes, another delicious snack or side for burgers or anything grilled.

You can use zatarans crispy southern fish fry and I also used franks original red hot sauce rather than Texas Pete. We fried them in our Cajun fryer. They were awesome!!

what can you use instead of Bubbas fry mix?
By linda spalding on July 04, 2012
This a great and easy receipe. Thank you
By David Carter on June 28, 2012
I just tried this recipe because I was craving them. This recipe was super easy! I just heated extra virgin olive oil in a large pot, a candy thermometer helped me get the temperature perfect for frying. I used ranch mixed with hot sauce for dipping. They were delicious!

This recipe looks killer, however it makes me cringe to see Texas Pete referred to as a "Louisiana hot sauce". It's made in North Carolina and tastes like yuck. Try Crystal instead.

I love anything that Paula Deens makes. I have tried several of her receipes and they were all fantastic. I must say that the fried dill pickles were just super fantastic!!!! The buttermilk and the hot sauce give the fried dill pickles a hint of sweet and hot. This receipe also works great for frying blue gills filets(fresh out of our lake) YUMMY. I did not have the ingredients to make the coating so we used Fry Magic which worked just as well. My husband and I will make this receipe again and again. Very YUMMY
