0 Preheat the oven to 475°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, and set aside.
1 Combine the flour, cornmeal, salt and pepper in a bowl. This is the breading mixture.
7 Pour the buttermilk into another bowl and add the hot sauce to it, stirring until mixed.
2 Place the pickle slices in the buttermilk mixture, allowing a few moments to soak before moving into the flour and cornmeal mixture.
8 Dredge the pickles in the breading mixture until completely coated. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
3 Continue this process until all the pickles has been breaded and placed on the baking sheet.
9 Spritz the tops of the pickles with the cooking spray. This will help them crisp up and brown.
4 Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the pickles from the oven. Flip with a spatula and spray the top with the cooking spray. Bake for an additional 10 minutes or until cooked through. Keep an eye on them, as they can burn if you don't.
5 While the pickles bake, make the dipping sauce: Measure the ketchup, grainy dijon and hot sauce in a bowl. Stir until combined. Set aside until ready for use.
6 When the pickles have browned and are finished baking, transfer to a plate, sprinkle with a little salt for finishing, and enjoy warm with the dipping sauce.
