• Thoroughly dry the pickle slices on a paper towel to remove any excess juice. Leave them on the paper towels for at least 15 minutes. Press gently to release a bit more juice.
• To set up your dredging station, mix together the flour, garlic powder, seasoned salt, and chili powder in a bowl. Beat the egg in another bowl. Add the breadcrumbs to a 3rd bowl.
• Coat each pickle slice in the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, then the breadcrumbs and place it into the air fryer basket. Be sure to space the pickles apart so they aren’t touching in the basket.

Air Fryer Instructions

• Spray the tops of the pickles with the cooking oil. This is what will make them crispy, so don’t skip this step.
• Cook at 375° F for 5 minutes. Turn them over and spray the tops again. Continue cooking for another 4-6 minutes, until crispy.

Deep Fry Method

• Heat oil in a deep fryer or a heavy pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the breaded pickles in batches, frying for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
