Notes
Oil: The best oil for frying pickles is vegetable oil. This type of oil has a high smoke point, which means it can be heated to a high temperature without smoking or burning. Peanut oil is another frying oil you can use.
Storage: Fried pickles are best fresh and hot, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place on a baking sheet in a single layer and reheat at 400°F until warmed through. You can also reheat in the air fryer at 360°F for 2 minutes. If not completely warmed through, heat in 15-30 seconds intervals until warm.
