Flamin' Hot Fried Pickles
Description
Deep-fried dill pickle slices are given a spicy, crunchy kick thanks to Cheetos Flamin' Hot crumbs and cayenne pepper.
Ingredients

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
•
12 slices dill pickles
Directions
1
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
Place beaten egg in a flat dish.

Place Cheetos® and cayenne in a food processor. Pulse until crumbs are achieved. Pour into a separate bowl.
