This recipe is a pickle lover’s dream come true! Pickles fried in the air fryer are crispy, juicy, and insanely addictive. Just pair them with your favorite dipping sauce!
What Makes This Recipe So Good
- These Air Fryer Fried Pickles are tangy, juicy, satisfyingly crunchy but are actually light and healthy because they’re air fried instead of deep fried.
- This recipe uses an entire jar of pickle chips / pickle slices so you don’t have to bother measuring them before just draining the entire jar.
Chef’s Tips
- These fried pickles work with so many different types of dipping sauce, but we recommend choosing something creamy. Remoulade is our favorite, but ranch and spicy mayo are also good choices.
- Once your breading stations are set up, use a different hand for wet and dry ingredients so you don’t bread your fingers instead of the pickles!
