Crispy Pickle Fries
Described as “zingy meets zesty,” these are thin-cut dill pickle spears that are lightly battered and fried until golden brown. A key feature of Applebee’s version is that they are tossed in TAJÍN® Clásico Chile Lime Seasoning for an extra kick of spice and citrus. They are traditionally served with a side of Mexi-ranch dressing for dipping.
