Air Fryer Pickle Chips

Ingredients

• •2 cups dill pickle chips, drained
• •1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• •1 egg
• •1 tsp hot sauce
• •3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
• •1/4 cup fine cornmeal
• •1/2 tsp dried dill
• •1/4 tsp black pepper
• •as needed neutral oil spray

Directions

1. 1Spread the pickle chips on towels and blot both sides until the surfaces feel dry.
2. 2Place flour in one bowl; whisk egg with hot sauce in a second; mix panko, cornmeal, dill, and pepper in a third.
3. 3Coat each pickle chip in flour, egg, then crumb mixture, pressing gently so the coating covers the wet edges.
4. 4Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (205°C) for 3 minutes and spray the basket before adding the breaded dill pickle chips.
5. 5Arrange half the pickle chips in one layer and air fry 6–8 minutes, turning after 4 minutes, until crisp and golden.
6. 6Repeat with the remaining pickle chips and serve immediately.

💡 Blotting the pickles is the make-or-break step: brine left on the slices dissolves the flour layer and creates bald spots in the crust.
