Drain the pickle chips and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Set aside.
In a shallow bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk until smooth.
Place the panko breadcrumbs in a third shallow bowl.
Set up a breading station: first bowl with the flour mixture, second bowl with the egg mixture, and third bowl with the panko breadcrumbs.
Dredge each pickle chip in the flour mixture, ensuring it is coated evenly. Shake off any excess flour.
Dip the floured pickle chip into the egg mixture, allowing any excess liquid to drip off.
Press the pickle chip into the panko breadcrumbs to coat thoroughly. Repeat this process for all the pickle chips.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil maintains the correct temperature.
Carefully drop the breaded pickle chips into the hot oil in small batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the pickle chips for 2β3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining pickle chips.
Serve the fried pickles hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or a spicy aioli.
