Fried Battered Zucchini Using Bisquick Type Baking Mix

Oh, this was naughty folks:@) It's very rare that I deep fry something and this Fried Battered Zucchini was a nice little treat! The baking mix batter makes a soft puffy breading surrounding tender, yet still has some bite, zucchini sticks. I enjoyed them as is, any ideas what might be a good dipping sauce? Ranch maybe? Que the ominous music... Much like shark week during the summer, zucchini season is coming! Let's start saving recipes to use it up.

Half of the recipe is more than enough for one large 10"-ish zucchini. 

 In my world this counts as eating my vegetables...
Please just humor me:@)
