To make the pickles: Heat oil in a deep fryer or large deep pan until oil sizzles when a water drop is placed on top. Combine flour, salt, pepper, sugar and cayenne pepper in a large mixing bowl. Whisk to incorporate all the dry ingredients.

Drain the pickle chips to remove excess water. The pickles do not need to be completely dry as some moisture is needed for the battering process.Toss a portion of the pickle chips in the seasoned flour mixture until the pickle chips are well-coated with the flour.Transfer the pickle chips to a wire strainer. Shake to remove excess flour from the pickle chips.
-
Carefully place the pickle chips in the hot oil. Cook for three to four minutes, or until the pickles float to the surface. Remove from oil and place on a plate lined with paper towel to drain. Transfer to a serving plate and serve with a dipping sauce of your choice.
-
To make the sauce: Mix the mayonnaise, horseradish, ketchup and Cajun seasoning in a bowl; set aside.
