Fried pickles
This one is courtesy of Meatwave.com who earlier this year posted a recipe for crack, er, fried pickles. They do not disappoint. Though they have that "my heart might stop at any moment" vibe. The dry batter is just flour, cornmeal, paprika, cayenne:
Here's the production line. Drained dill pickle chips, coated in the dry batter, tossed into a bubbling pot of 350 degree oil.

Another bubbling caldren:
After just two minutes in that oil here is what you get. Super super crispy:
These were good. Simple. They would benefit from a dipping sauce of some kind. Meatwave suggested a ranch, but I'm thinking something with a sharp vinegar base might do better to cut the fried intensity. Even a BBQ sauce would do justice. Or maybe even just a cholula.
Go to meatwave.com for the full recipe. It's definitely worth a try at your next baseball, football, hockey, basketball, and/or dog show championship party. Strikes me as an easy crowd pleaser.
