Wendell's Fried Pickles

Wendell had something similar to this at the last monthly gathering with his classmates and decided to make some for his softball team. He also made a spicy mayonnaise dip for it.

It was ono!  Good for pupus. The recipe is from the She Wears Many Hats site.

Ingredients

•  oil for frying (vegetable or peanut)
•  1/2 cup all-purpose flour
•  1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (Greek seasoning or your favorite seasoning medley may be substituted)
•  1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
•  1/4 teaspoon salt
•  1/4 teaspoon black pepper
•  1 tablespoon hot sauce
•  1/2 cup water
•  16 ounces dill pickle slices, drained and dried on paper towels

Instructions

1. Heat 1 1/2-2 inches oil in a heavy bottomed pot over medium-high heat to 375-degrees F.
2. In a shallow bowl or rimmed plate, whisk together flour, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Add hot sauce and water and mix until smooth.
3. Working in batches, add dried pickles to the batter, gently toss to coat. Using a slotted spoon (or Chinese Spider), remove pickles from the batter and let excess drip off. Gently add pickles to the oil one at a time. Fry for about 1 1/2-2 minutes or until golden. Remove and let drain on paper towels.
