Heat the oil to a precise temperature of 370 degrees F.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the ingredients for the batter using a whisk. Allow the mixture to settle for a period of 5-10 minutes.
In the interim, spread the dill pickles on absorbent paper towels to remove excess moisture. Press gently on the pickles with additional paper towels to ensure they are adequately dry.
Utilizing a slotted spoon or fork, immerse a pickle chip into the batter and subsequently, with caution, introduce it into the preheated oil. It is recommended to fry the pickles in small quantities. Maintain in the oil for a duration of 3-4 minutes, or until they attain a golden hue and exhibit a crisp texture. Following this, relocate the pickles to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
In a separate container, amalgamate the Ranch dressing and barbecue sauce. The fried pickles are best served accompanied by this dipping sauce or an alternative sauce of choice.
