500 ml oil for frying vegetable or peanut
60 g all-purpose flour
1 tsp Italian seasoning Greek seasoning or your favorite seasoning medley may be substituted
4.5 g garlic powder
1.5 tsp salt
1.5 tsp black pepper
15 ml hot sauce
120 ml water
450 g dill pickle slices drained and dried on paper towels

Heat 1 1/2-2 inches oil in a heavy bottomed pot over medium-high heat to 375-degrees F.
In a shallow bowl or rimmed plate, whisk together flour, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Add hot sauce and water and mix until smooth.
Working in batches, add dried pickles to the batter, gently toss to coat. Using a slotted spoon, remove pickles from the batter and let excess drip off. Gently add pickles to the oil one at a time.
Fry for about 1 1/2-2 minutes or until golden. Remove and let drain on paper towels. Monitor oil temperature as batches are frying to maintain consistent 375-degrees F.
Serve with Comeback Sauce and/or ketchup.

For an extra kick, try adding a bit of cayenne pepper to the batter or serve with a spicy dipping sauce.
