Directions:

1. Prepare the Pickles:

   • Lay your pickle slices on a paper towel and gently pat them dry to remove excess moisture. This step ensures a crispier coating.

2. Set Up the Breading Station:

   • In three separate bowls:

     • Bowl 1: Add flour and season with salt, pepper, and dried dill.

     • Bowl 2: Whisk eggs until smooth.

     • Bowl 3: Add panko breadcrumbs and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

3. Bread the Pickles:

   • Coat each pickle slice in the seasoned flour, ensuring an even coating.

   • Dip the floured pickle into the egg wash.

   • Roll the pickle in the breadcrumbs to coat completely. For extra crunch, repeat the egg wash and breadcrumb coating process.

4. Bake:

   • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

   • Arrange the breaded pickle chips in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

   • Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

5. Make the Dip:

   • In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, salt, pepper, dried dill, and pickle juice. Mix until well blended and adjust seasoning to taste.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Serve the crispy pickle chips hot with your tangy Greek yogurt dip on the side.
