0.5 (8.5 ounce) bag spicy cheese-flavored cornmeal snack (such as Cheetos® Flamin' Hot®)
•
0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
•
12 slices dill pickles
Instructions
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Place beaten egg in a flat dish.
Place Cheetos® and cayenne in a food processor. Pulse until crumbs are achieved. Pour into a separate bowl.
Dip a pickle slice in the egg and coat with Cheetos® crumb mixture. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining pickle slices.
Fry pickle slices in the hot oil, working in batches, for 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and let sit for 2 minutes for final crisping.
