Basic Fried Dill Pickles

Could you use real pickles rather than dill pickle flavored potato chips? I've had deep fried pickles once and they are delicious. Thanks

Editor's Note: I believe that the recipe is using dill pickle "chips" that you put on hamburgers, the wavy cut slices that come in a jar near the whole pickles. (03/01/2007)
