Ingredients for Texas Roadhouse Fried Pickles

To make those crispy, restaurant-style fried pickles at home, you’ll need a few simple ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen:

  • Pickle Chips: Use sliced dill pickles for that classic tangy flavor.
  • All-Purpose Flour: Forms the base of your crunchy coating.
  • Cornmeal (optional): Adds extra texture and crispiness.
  • Salt and Black Pepper: For basic seasoning and flavor balance.
  • Paprika or Cayenne Pepper: Gives a subtle kick and color.
  • Eggs or Buttermilk: Helps the flour coating stick to the pickles.
  • Vegetable Oil: For deep-frying until golden and crispy.
  • Dipping Sauce: Ranch, spicy mayo, or Texas Roadhouse pickle sauce to serve on the side.

How to Make Texas Roadhouse Fried Pickles

If you love the crispy, tangy flavor of Texas Roadhouse fried pickles, you’ll be happy to know you can easily make them at home! Follow these simple steps to recreate that perfect crunch and zesty taste in your own kitchen.

  • Prepare the Pickles: Drain your pickle chips and pat them dry using a paper towel. This step helps remove excess moisture so the coating sticks better and your pickles turn out extra crispy.
  • Make the Dry Mix: In a bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, salt, pepper, and a pinch of paprika or cayenne. This seasoned coating gives your fried pickles that classic, flavorful crust.
  • Prepare the Wet Mix: In another bowl, beat a few eggs or use buttermilk. This will act as the binding layer that helps the dry mix cling perfectly to the pickles.
  • Coat the Pickles: Dip each pickle slice first into the wet mixture, then toss it in the dry mix until fully coated. Shake off any extra flour for a clean, even crust.
  • Heat the Oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep pan and heat it to around 350°F (175°C). Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying, as cooler oil can make the pickles soggy.
  • Fry Until Golden: Carefully add the coated pickles in small batches. Fry them for about 2–3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan so they cook evenly.
  • Drain and Serve: Remove the fried pickles using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauce — ranch or Texas Roadhouse pickle sauce pairs perfectly!
