Photo: Pretzel-Crusted Pickle Chips with Mustard Sauce Recipe
Ingredients
For the Sauce:
- 1 1/4-inch-thick slice red onion, finely diced
- 3 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
- 11/2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Kosher salt
For the Chips:
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 6 large dill pickles, sliced diagonally into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
- 2 cups salted mini pretzels
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- Celery salt, for sprinkling (optional)
Directions
Make the sauce: Mix the onion, both mustards, the mayonnaise, paprika, garlic powder and salt to taste in a bowl. Set the sauce aside.
Make the chips: Heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Gently pat the pickle slices dry with a paper towel.
Put the pretzels in a large resealable plastic bag and crush into coarse crumbs using a rolling pin or heavy pan; transfer to a plate. Whisk the eggs in a shallow bowl and put the flour in another bowl. Dredge the pickle slices in the flour, shaking off any excess; dip in the beaten eggs, then dip in the pretzel crumbs, turning to coat. Working in batches, fry the pickles until golden and crisp, about 1 minute per side. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with celery salt, if desired. Serve warm with the mustard sauce.

out of all the recipes I looked, at this one seemed the most interesting because of the pretzels as breadcrumbs. I make chicken cutlets with crushed pretzels and they are always great. I also liked this recipe because I usually always have all these items on hand. They were very tasty and not as salty as I thought they would be (I didnt use the celery salt though Definetly 5 stars and my kids loved them!

OH MY GOODNESS!!! These are the best appetizers ever!! I have been making these for over a year now, Graduation Parties, Thanksgiving, Fourth of July, etc....it does not matter who I make them for, they are always the first thing to be completely eaten!! They are a staple at all my family gatherings now!! The only thing I do different is I buy a large jar of oval pickles instead of cutting them up. This saves a step and makes it easier!! Thanks for such a great recipe!! People are always shocked when I tell them I use pretzels for the crust!! Good JOB!!

these are such a good snack food! the pretzels gave the pickles a nice buttery salty crunch. i don't even like pickles and i pretty much ate half the batch! these are well worth the try. sure to be a hit with a casual party.
