Ingredients
For the Fried Pickles
-
1 cup All Purpose Flour
-
1 cup Club Soda
-
2 Tbsp Sweet Applewood Barbecue Rub & Seasoning
-
1 tsp Smokey Bacon Infused Sea Salt
-
⅓ cup Maple-Wood Smoked Bacon Infused Olive Oil
-
Pickle Chips or Spears of your choice
For the Smokehouse Mayo
-
½ cup Mayo
-
2 Tbsp Bourbon Barrel Aged Balsamic
-
2 tsp Sweet Applewood Barbecue Rub & Seasoning
-
1-2 tsp Hot Sauce
Directions
In a medium bowl mix the flour, club soda, Sweet Applewood Barbecue Rub & Seasoning, and Smokey Bacon Infused Sea Salt until just combined. The batter should be the consistency of pancake batter. Set aside.
Lay the pickles you are going to use on a towel and lightly pat dry.
In a small Dutch oven or sauté pan, heat the oil to 350°F, about medium-high heat. The oil is too hot if it begins to smoke, and too cool if it doesn’t sizzle when the pickles are added.
Use a fork to dip pickles in the batter, letting any excess batter drip off.
Fry for 2-3 minutes on one side then turn over, cooking another 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove the fried pickles from the pan and set on a paper-towel lined plate to drain off the excess oil. Set aside while you make the Smokehouse Mayo.
In a small bowl, mix together the mayo, Bourbon Barrel Aged Balsamic, Sweet Applewood Barbecue Rub & Seasoning, and hot sauce. Adjust hot sauce to taste.
Serve pickles with the Smokehouse Mayo. These are best served while still warm. Enjoy!
