Ingredients

1 (24 oz.) jar sliced kosher dill pickles
vegetable oil
1 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. garlic powder

Drain pickles, reserving 2 tablespoons pickle juice. Press pickles between layers of paper towels. Set aside. Pour oil to depth of 3-inches into a Dutch oven; heat to 370\u00b0. Combine flour and next 3 ingredients in a medium bowl. Stir in club soda and reserved 2 tablespoons pickle juice, stirring just until combined. (Batter will be lumpy.) Dip pickles into batter, letting excess drip off. Fry pickles, in batches, 2 1/2 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on wire racks over paper towels and serve immediately.
