You will love this Air Fryer Pickles recipe. It’s so easy, and the pickles are really wonderful. You don’t need to drain them on paper towels like a lot of recipes call for, you just take them from the jar, and drop them in the coating, place them in the air fryer, spray them with dash of oil, and they come out crunchy, and crispy, and so delicious dipped in the tangy sauce. This one will be a favorite.
Best of all, you use a store bought Shake N Bake Chicken seasoned coating mix! You don’t even have to spend the time to make your own. I was shocked at how easy, delicious and fast this was to whip up.
🍽️ Instructions
It’s fantastic to make pickles in the air fryer! You don’t have to worry about deep frying them (and all the calories that come with that), and there is virtually no work on your end. Take a look at how easy it is:
First Step: Place a few of the bread and butter pickle chips into the Shake N Bake coating. I used a Ziplock bag instead on their bag, as you won’t use all of the seasoning. Shake the pickles in the mix, so they are completely coated. Place the sliced pickles in the air fryer. Use a little bit of olive oil and spray the pickles. This will keep the coating from coming off during cooking. Turn on the temperature to the air fryer to 400 degrees. Cook for 9 minutes.
Second Step: While the pickles are cooking, prepare the dipping sauce. Use a small bowl and mix the Miracle Whip, ketchup, dill, sugar, garlic salt, Tabasco, and lemon juice. Stir until the ingredients are mixed well. Serve the fried pickles along with the dipping sauce and enjoy!
NOTE: Extra crispy Shake N Bake comes with two coating pouches per package. I used just a little bit of the seasoned coating at a time and saved the rest for a dinner.
🍴 Meal Prep Instructions
You can make these air fried pickles up to 2-3 days ahead of time. Cook them in the air fryer. Then let them cool and place them in the fridge in a container with a snug-fitting lid. When you are ready to serve, put them in the air fryer again to heat up. It takes about 5-7 minutes until they are hot all the way through.
‼️ Freezer Friendly Instructions
Cook the air fryer pickles as directed. Then place them on a large baking sheet, so they aren’t touching. Put the pan in the freezer for 2-3 hours until they are frozen. Put the pickles in a ziplock bag and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months.
For serving the pickles, you will need to warm them up in the air fryer. They don’t have to be thawed. Once they are hot, you can eat them. Another option is to heat them in the oven. Just skip the microwave, or they will end up soggy.
