Fried Panko-Dipped Pickle Spears
An easy app that can be served as a zesty snack is going to become a pre-dinner regular.
For the crispiest pickle spears, buy whole pickles from the refrigerated section of your supermarket, and cut them into spears for the recipe.
For a thinner breading, you can replace 2 of the eggs with 1 cup milk, and only dip in the flour and egg once, instead of twice.
