Instructions
Chicken Fried Pickles:
Drain pickles and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together buttermilk, hot sauce, and eggs.
In another bowl, combine whole wheat flour, flour, salt, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Stir to combine. Drizzle a small amount of buttermilk over the flour mixture and stir with a fork to create clumps.
Dip each pickle spear in the buttermilk mixture, then dredge in the flour mixture.
Fry the pickles in oil at 375°F until golden and crispy, about 3-5 minutes.
Remove from oil and drain on a cooling rack over a sheet pan.
Nashville Hot Sauce:
Melt butter, then whisk in cayenne, brown sugar, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
