I saw a recipe for this a few days ago and thought it was a crazy idea but decided to google and see other Fried Pickle recipes I could find. I came up with this tweaked combination from half a dozen recipes for it and it's yummy! Even without a dipping sauce they are divine and I have a feeling I am going to become addicted ;-)
Whisk together egg, milk, hot sauce, Worcestershire, pickle juice and 1/4 cup flour in a bowl.
In another bowl mix together remaining 1/4 cup flour, tempura batter mix, salt and pepper.
Dip pickle slices in to egg batter then dredge into tempura mixture to coat completely.
Transfer dredged pickles to a wax paper lined cookie sheet. Place cookie sheet in freezer for 30 to 45 minutes
Heat the oil in a deep fryer or sauce pan to medium-high heat and fry pickles in batches until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes.
Transfer on to cloth or paper towel to drain.
Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing.

In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, beat eggs and milk. Blot pickles with paper towels to remove moisture. Coat pickles with flour mixture; then dip in egg mixture; coat again with flour mixture.
