Steps:

• Make the sauce: Mix the mayonnaise, horseradish, ketchup and Cajun seasoning in a bowl; set aside.
• Fry the pickles: Heat 1 inch peanut oil in a pot over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees F. Meanwhile, whisk the flour, Cajun seasoning, Italian seasoning, cayenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup water in a large bowl until smooth. Spread the pickles on paper towels and pat dry.
• Add half of the pickles to the batter and toss to coat. Remove from the batter using a slotted spoon, letting the excess drip off, and add to the oil one at a time. Fry until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes; remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Return the oil to 375 degrees F and repeat with the remaining pickles and batter. Serve immediately with the prepared sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat about 2-inches of oil in a large (8 quart) pot to 350°F. Prepare a tray with double paper towel stack. Set aside. In a medium bowl combine buttermilk, egg, and hot sauce. Beat with a fork to combine. Drain pickle juice from pickle jar, add pickles to buttermilk mixture. Stir to combine. In a separate bowl whisk together flour, paprika, garlic powder and cayenne pepper. Add about a handful of pickles to flour mixture. Swirl pickles around and make sure they are well coated. Shake off excess flour and drop pickles in hot oil one at a time. Only put 7-8 pickles at a time so the temperature does not drop too much. Fry pickles for 3-5 minutes until they are golden brown. Remove from oil with a slotted spoon and drain on a tray lined with paper towels. Serve and enjoy! They are traditionally served with a horseradish or spicy ranch sauce,

Steps:

• Put the flour, eggs, and crumbs into separate bowls.
• Put oil in pan, heat on medium.
• For each pickle:.
• Cover the pickle in flour by dipping it in the bowl and working on it from there.
• Then, dip the pickle in the eggs and quickly cover it in egg.
• Next, dip the pickle into the bread crumbs and quickly cover the pickle in bread crumbs.
• You have to move quickly or the egg will slide off of the pickle.
• GENTLY place the pickle in the hot oil.
• (CAUTION: Pickles are mostly water, so oil will pop at you).
• Once the pickle is a nice golden brown color, remove from oil and place on a paper towel covered plate. Repeat until you are out of pickles!
• Enjoy!
