These are simple to make and require nothing special but a little time.

line a baking tray with foil or parchment
mix the flour with all the spices in one of the bowls
beat the eggs in another bowl
and in the third bowl add your seasoned breadcrumbs
dip a pickle chip in the flour, then in the eggs, then in the bread crumbs, and set on the prepared baking sheet
repeat with enough pickle chips to fill the basket or tray of the air fryer
spritz with cooking oil

air fry the remaining pickles in batches as directed
serve with your favorite dip or dressing

What to Dip Your Fried Pickles in

You CAN use anything you like for dipping. We prefer a good homemade ranch dressing. But lately, I’ve been making these two ranch dressings variations quite frequently. And they pair perfectly with fried pickles.

Your friends are going to love this new addition to your air fryer appetizers menu! This one joins our other favorite Air Fryer Apps, such as:

If you’re cooking for a crowd you might need to borrow or buy another air fryer to get an entire party of appetizers out for your friends. I prefer a basket style Air Fryer such as a Cosori 5.8 Max XL Basket Style Air Fryer OR the Dual Basket in this Vortex is a nice air fryer too.
