    This is not the first time I make deep-fried pickles. Not too long ago I made these Oven Fried Pickles. They were delicious and a hit with all my guess. I still had some pickles leftover in the fridge so I decided to put them to good use and make these Copycat Disney Fried Pickles.

    The ingredients and process used to make this fried pickle recipe is very similar to my other recipe. I mean how many different ways can you make fried pickles?

    🥛 Buttermilk Substitution

    If you don't have Buttermilk on hand, you can use this trick as a substitute: Add one tablespoon of lemon juice to a measuring cup. Add milk and fill to the 1 cup measurement line. Stir the mixture together and let sit for 5 minutes.

    My good friend Wendy and her family are hardcore Disney fans. I mean like season passes and monthly visits to the theme park type of hardcore fan. Needless to say, she has had a lot of their food over the years so she is my official taste tester for all my Disneyland copycat recipes!

    I'm also including a simple dipping sauce to go along with the pickles. Nothing special about it. Just a creamy dill flavored sauce. If you are not a fan of this type of sauce you could substitute for some ranch dressing.

    ⭐ Copycat Rating

    Since the goal of a Copycat Recipe is for it to taste exactly like the original, it's only natural to rate this recipe against the original. This Copycat recipe rates a solid 7 out of 10 in my opinion.

    💭 Deep Frying Oils

    When it comes to Deep Frying food you want to choose an oil that has a high smoke point and neutral in flavor so it won't affect the flavor of whatever you are frying. Vegetable Oil, Corn Oil, Canola Oil and Peanut Oil are some of the more popular and affordable options.

    For more great appetizers like this one, I suggest you check out my Crunchy Mozzarella Sticks, my Mexican Egg Rolls, my Baked Cream Cheese and Bacon Wontons or my awesome Peanut Butter Turkey Meatballs.

      These are so dang good. Kinda hard to get everything to stick to them, but if you let them sit, then a lot of the batter will stay.
