Inspired by: Red Robin Fried Pickle Nickels
Like deep-fried pickles? You’ll love this un-fried version even more. Dill pickle spears are coated with panko bread crumbs and spices, then baked until crispy. Dip them with ranch dressing for an appetizer you won’t soon forget.—Nick Iverson, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Don’t miss these McDonald’s copycat recipes.
Inspired by: Buffalo Wild Wings Ultimate Nachos
I modified a nachos recipe I found, and my family loves it! It is now a regular at our dinner table. —Denise Wheeler, Newaygo, Michigan
Inspired by: Rock Bottom Ball Park Pretzels
My husband, friends, and family love these soft, chewy pretzels. Let your machine mix the dough, then all you have to do is shape and bake these fun snacks. —Sherry Peterson, Fort Collins, Colorado
Inspired by: Red Lobster Fried Oysters
I love nothing more than a cold beer and a shucked oyster, so when my partners and I opened Saw’s Juke Joint in Birmingham, Alabama, we wanted to add them to the menu. We love making them, we love serving them, and our guests love eating them. —Taylor Hicks, Las Vegas, Nevada.
