Disney's Fried Pickle Recipe
Patricia @ ButterYum
Disney released Carnation Cafe’s world famous fried pickle recipe so I thought I’d give it a try. Frying the pickles is pretty straight forward, but the zesty house sauce takes them over the top. If you’re a fan of fried pickles, this is a really easy recipe to make at home. Enjoy!

Disney’s Fried Pickle Recipe w/Dipping Sauce
makes 2 servings (about 12 pickle spears)
Ingredients
Zesty House Sauce:
1/2 cup ranch dressing
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 teaspoons sriracha
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice (or 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice)
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
pinch freshly cracked black pepper
Fried Pickles:
16-ounce jar dill pickle spears, drained and patted dry
2 cups vegetable or canola oil
1 cup plain panko bread crumbs
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
3 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup
Directions
To make the zesty house sauce:
Whisk all the ingredients together and set aside until needed (or refrigerate for longer storage).
To make the pickles:
Heat oil to 365F.
Place flour in a shallow bowl.
Place beaten eggs in a 2nd shallow bowl.
Combine the panko bread crumbs and grated parmesan cheese in a 3rd shallow bowl.
Coat each pickle spear in flour, then egg, then panko/parmesan; set aside until oil reaches 365F.
Fry pickles spears for 4-5 minutes or until deep golden brown (don’t crowd pan - you may need to fry in several batches).
Remove pickles from hot oil with mesh or wire strainer/skimmer/spider and serve with Zesty House Sauce.
Notes
Feel free to cut the pickle spears in half lengthwise if you like.
No lime juice? No problem, just use lemon juice, but cut the amount back to 1/2 teaspoon.
Leftover Zesty House Sauce can be used as a salad dressing or hamburger sauce.
