Heat oil to 375°F in deep fryer or deep sided cast iron skillet.
In a shallow bowl, stir together flour, Ranch dressing mix and cayenne powder.
In another shallow bowl, beat eggs.
In third shallow bowl, place Panko bread crumbs.
Roll each pickle spear in flour mixture, then into egg using one hand, shaking off excess. Dip back into flour mixture for a second time, then into egg a second time. Coat pickle spear with bread crumbs, pressing with other hand to adhere. Set aside on plate and repeat with remaining pickle spears.
Fry in hot oil 2 to 3 minutes, turning once, or until golden brown. Drain fried pickles on cooling rack or paper towels.
Combine dipping sauce ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.
Serve fried pickles with dipping sauce.

Notes
I used 1 cup Panko and 1 cup Sourdough breadcrumbs in the video due to #StayAtHome Corona Virus lockdown, but feel free to use 2 cups of Panko if you prefer. :)
I typically find Vlasic Dill Pickle Spears to hold up well and stay crisp and firm.
