Equipments Required
- Bowl: My regular choice for combining all the dry ingredients required for these fried pickles is a bowl.
- Casserole Dish: To avoid a mess, place the pickles in a casserole dish.
- Frying Pan: I use a pan to fry these pickles. You can also use a fryer or Dutch oven if you want.
- Paper Towels: Paper towels help me to remove the excess oil from these pickles.
- Tongs: I prefer using tongs to dip the pickle pieces in the batter.
- Slotted Spoon: Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried pickles from the pan.
- Measuring Spoons: Using measuring spoons is my best choice to add spices in the proper proportions.
BWW Fried Pickles Ingredients & Substitutions
Note: The quantities of ingredients that I have mentioned below are enough to make four portions of fried pickles.
- 2 Cups Whole Dill Pickles
- ½ Cup All-Purpose Flour: If all-purpose flour is not available, I simply use rice flour instead, as it’s a great replacement. It provides a crispy texture. Also, don’t forget to use a 1:1 ratio for substitution.
- ¼ Cup Cornstarch
- ½ Teaspoon Italian Seasoning: I suggest using homemade Italian seasoning, but if you prefer store-bought seasoning, you are all good to go with it.
- 2 Teaspoons Cajun Seasoning: I suggest you make your cajun seasoning at home, as it’ll be easier, but if you prefer using store-bought, you can.
- ½ Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- 1 Cup Soda Water: To substitute soda water, it’s always sparkling water for me. You can use the same quantity of soda water as a substitute.
- Vegetable Oil, for frying

Expert Tips That I Recommend
- You’ll see I have used Cajun and Italian seasoning for amazing flavors. However, you can infuse more herbs, such as parsley, dill, or cilantro, for a fresh taste.
- One of my best choices to achieve a crispier exterior is to double-coat the pickles. All you have to do is dip the pickles twice in the batter, and that’s it—your pickles will get the perfect crisp.
- I suggest you ensure the pickles are completely dry before dipping them into the batter, as this will prevent them from getting soggy.
- I suggest letting the batter rest for 10-15 minutes after making it so the flour can hydrate well, resulting in a better texture.
- For an extra tangy flavor, I recommend you marinate the pickles in buttermilk for some time.

Recipe Variation For Different Diets
- Gluten-Free Diet: I have a perfect substitute for all-purpose flour: coconut flour or rice flour.Â
- Keto Diet: Instead of using primary ingredients, use low-carb ingredients such as dill pickles, almond flour, parmesan cheese, eggs, sour cream, salt, and pepper.Â
- Low-Calorie Diet: To reduce the calorie content, you can air fry or bake the pickles instead of deep frying them, as this will reduce the fat content.Â
Storing And Reheating This Recipe
Storing-
- Refrigerator: Refrigerating is the easiest option for storing these Buffalo Wild Wings Fried Pickles for about four days. But make sure that the pickles are properly sealed in an airtight container. Additionally, don’t forget to bring these fried pickles to room temperature before storing them in the fridge. This will prevent the pickles from getting soggy.Â
- Freezing: Freezing is another option for storing these fried pickles for up to two months. But, as I mentioned earlier in the refrigerating section, you have to ensure that you allow them to cool, as this prevents them from building moisture. Also, ensure that you transfer the pickles to an airtight container or freezer-safe bag before freezing. Lastly, whenever you are ready to serve these pickles, don’t forget to thaw them overnight in the refrigerator.
Reheating-
- Oven: When you are ready to enjoy these fried pickles, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the pickles on a baking sheet and heat them for 10-15 minutes until they are crispy again.
- Air Fryer: Reheating these fried pickles in the air fryer is my personal favorite choice as it retains the crispy texture and flavors. Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and heat them for 5-7 minutes or until heated through.Â
What To Serve With This Recipe
Dipping sauces on the side are the perfect option for enjoying these fried pickles. Buffalo Wild Wings serves these fried pickles with the popular Ranch Dipping Sauce, Buffalo Sauce, Hot Sauce, or Sriracha Sauce.
Not only this, but French Fries are also a fantastic addition to these fried pickles as a side dish. Additionally, if you want something that will satisfy you fully, then Chicken Wings on the side are your way. Pairing these dishes with your crispy fried pickles will surely satisfy your cravings!
