Hot Cheetos Pickles

Hot Cheetos Pickles (3)

A spicy and crunchy twist on pickles, coated in Flamin’ Hot Cheetos Pickles for the ultimate snack experience.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large dill pickles (about 1 lb)
  • 3 cups Flamin’ Hot Cheetos (crushed, about 6 oz)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 oz all-purpose flour (about ½ cup)
  • 8 oz cooking oil (for frying, about 1 cup)

Instructions

  1. Slice the dill pickles into spears or rounds and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  2. Crush the Flamin’ Hot Cheetos using a food processor or place them in a sealed bag and crush with a rolling pin until they form a fine crumb mixture.
  3. Set up a breading station: place flour in one bowl, whisked eggs in another, and crushed Hot Cheetos in a third bowl.
  4. Dredge each pickle slice in flour, dip in egg wash, then coat with the crushed Hot Cheetos, pressing gently to adhere.
  5. Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry pickles for 1-2 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on a paper towel.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or cheese sauce.

Notes

For extra crunch, double coat the pickles by dipping them in egg and Hot Cheetos crumbs twice. If you prefer a healthier option, air fry at 375°F for 8-10 minutes. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 24 hours, but they’re best enjoyed fresh!
