Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 6 tablespoons cornstarch (see note)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup bread crumbs (regular or panko)
- 2 cups pickle chips drained
- olive oil for spraying
Instructions
- Set up a dredge station by whisking the eggs in a small bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, onion powder, paprika, cayenne, and pepper. Pour the bread crumbs into another medium bowl or onto a small plate.
- Pat the pickle chips as dry as possible using paper towels.
- Coat the pickle chips by dipping them into the seasoned cornstarch, then into the eggs, and finally into the bread crumbs until completely coated. Place onto a plate and repeat with remaining pickles.
- Spray the basket of your air fryer with olive oil (or other neutral oil).
- Arrange the pickle chips in a single layer in the basket, making sure they aren't touching. (Touching parts won't crispy up as nicely.) You may need to work in batches depending on the size of the basket.
- Cook at 390 degrees F for 6-8 minutes or until golden brown. (Depending on your air fryer model, you may want to flip the pickle chips over halfway through cooking.)
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes
- If you don't have cornstarch on hand, you can substitute the same amount of flour. Cornstarch works better to keep the pickle juices inside the breading and makes the coating more crispy, but both options work.
