Smoked Pickles? Anyone have a recipe

scruffee81 · December 2014

I was talking to a group of friends and we for some reason we go to talking about appetizers and I was raving about my obsession with the Fried Pickle chips at Hooters (its the only thing I like there), and someone mentioned smoked pickles were the best thing they have ever eaten as far as pickle appetizers...

anyone ever tried this before? if so, can you share a recipe/technique?

Thanks, hopefully he pulls through. Really want to try this.

Yep, I'm thoroughly intriqued now. I'll be watching with interest.

Am I crazy, or did someone have bacon wrapped pickles on here a while back (maybe a trial run for Salado)?

The only thing you like at Hooters is the Fried Pickles?

I also like these....

scruffee81 · December 2014

maybe in Texas the Hooters girls look like that... in Va...they look like this...

But Im with you, Id like those a lot more than fried pickles

@Black_Badger-you are correct-and it was @henapple that drilled out some dills, packed them with cheese and then wrapped in bacon and cooked til the bacon was done. Following his idea I made a batch and they were quickly consumed by two mid 20's sons. I think I cooked them indirect at around 350*F. Hopefully Mr PBR will be along to set us all straight.

Found the link to the original thread: caught in...or with a pickle

interesting, did you add any wood chunks at all?

lousubcap · December 2014

@scrufee81-I didn't add any smoke wood-just whatever I got from the lump.

Just something I ran across doing a friendly Google search..."Grickles" Looks good!

I do these pickles regularly.

Dill pickles split lengthwise into spears

Bread the spears (flour / egg wash / panko crumbs)

Indirect on the egg at 350-375 until the panko color ups to your liking.

Dip: 1 part mayonnaise 1 part Sriracha

smak · December 2014

I forgot to add...

In the panko crumbs I normally add a healthy dose of DP Swamp Venom and salt.

@smak these look awesome! ill definitely give these a go. what exactly is egg wash?

smak · December 2014

Egg wash is just an egg and about 2 Tbsp of water or milk to thin it out. Mix well.

you will want to setup 3 dishes for the breading. 1) flour 2) egg wash 3) panko. Just assembly line the pickles through.

Also, I like Claussen brand pickles.

thanks. ill try that out!

These are great ideas, I'm following avidly. I love Wickles, and I was looking for more inspiration to do the types of things that @henapple and @smak are describing...

henapple · December 2014

@scruffee81‌ ...@lousubcap‌ nailed it. Easy and tasty.

@scruffee81 I don't remember what forum that was on but I'm still doing them.
