How to Make Chickles at Home
While you can find Chickles at some specialty food stores, they're also incredibly easy to make at home. Here's a simple recipe to get you started:
Ingredients:
- Dill pickles (whole or sliced)
- Your favorite cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, and pepper jack all work well)
- Flour
- Egg
- Bread crumbs
- Oil for frying
Instructions:
- If you're using whole pickles, slice them into 1/4 inch rounds. If you're using sliced pickles, pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Cut your cheese into slices that are slightly smaller than your pickle slices.
- Sandwich a slice of cheese between two pickle slices to create a "pickle-cheese-pickle" sandwich.
- In three separate bowls, set up your breading station with flour, beaten egg, and bread crumbs.
- Dip each pickle-cheese-pickle sandwich into the flour, then the egg, and finally the bread crumbs, making sure to coat evenly.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and fry the Chickles for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
