Instructions
Preheat the oven to 475°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and set aside.
Combine the flour, cornmeal, salt and pepper in a bowl. Pour the buttermilk into another bowl and add the Sriracha sauce to it, stirring until mixed.
Place the pickle slices in the buttermilk mixture, allowing a few moments to soak before moving into the flour and cornmeal mixture. Coat the pickles completely in the mix, then transfer to the baking sheet.
Continue this process until all the pickles has been breaded and placed on the baking sheet.
Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the pickles from the oven, flipping with a spatula. Bake for an additional 10 minutes (or until cooked through.)
While the pickles bake, make the dipping sauce: Combine the ketchup, grainy dijon and Sriracha in a bowl, stirring until combined. Set aside until ready for use.
When the pickles have browned and are finished baking, transfer to a plate, and enjoy warm with the dipping sauce.
Notes
Keep in mind that my oven is 50 years old, so constantly check on your pickles to ensure they do not burn as they bake.
