Air Fryer Fried Pickles
Description
This recipe uses dill pickle chips dried with paper towels to remove excess moisture, helping the coating adhere. The pickles are dredged in a seasoned flour mixture, followed by an egg and pickle juice marinade, then coated with a blend of garlic-seasoned panko and regular breadcrumbs. Pressing the breading ensures even coverage.
Pickles are arranged in a single layer in the air fryer to crisp evenly without overcrowding. The result is a crispy outside with the signature tangy pickle inside. The combination of bread crumbs creates a textured, crunchy shell.
The dish is suitable as a snack or finger food and can be served with dipping sauces. Adjustments to the breadcrumb type can be made based on availability without significant texture loss.
Using pickle juice in the egg wash helps maintain pickle flavor in the coating. The recipe has been refined to a consistent air fryer approach for a less greasy alternative to traditional frying.
Ingredients
- 30 dill pickles chip style preferred
- ½ cup flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tsp Cajun seasoning
- 2 medium egg
- 2 TBS pickle juice
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅓ cup bread crumbs
- ½ cup panko bread crumbs
- cooking spray
Notes
- You can use either panko or regular breadcrumbs alone if you don't have both; mixing them yields the best texture.
- Drying the pickles well before coating helps the batter stick better.
- Arrange pickles in a single layer in the air fryer for even crisping; cook in batches if needed.
