In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup flour, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 3/4 cup water. Mix until smooth.

Preheat the deep fryer to 350°F.

Drain and dry 16 oz of sliced dill pickles to remove excess liquid.

Whisk the batter in the bowl until all lumps are gone.

Toss the dried pickles in the batter, ensuring they are well coated on all sides.

In a separate container, pour between 1.5 to 2 cups of Panko breadcrumbs.

Take the battered pickles out and coat both sides with the breadcrumbs until completely covered.

Carefully drop the coated pickles into the deep fryer basket to prevent sticking.

Fry the pickles for a couple of minutes until they are golden brown.

Once cooked, place the fried pickles on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

Serve the fried pickles with your favorite ranch or spicy ranch.
