• Double dip the pickles for a thicker, crunchier crust.
• Fry in small batches to maintain oil temperature.
• Serve immediately for maximum crunch.
• Try using spicy pickles for an extra kick.

Correction (Common Mistakes)

• Avoid using wet pickles — the coating will not stick.
• Do not overcrowd the pan; it lowers the oil temperature.
• Do not over-fry — pickles need only a few minutes.
• Avoid thin batter; it won’t adhere properly.
