What kind of AirFryer do I need?

People are falling in love with Air Fryers (affiliate link).  I personally got mine as a Christmas gift from my mom. Thanks Mom!

I have the Power Air Fryer XL (affiliate link) which was originally purchased from Kohls but is now available on Amazon. You can purchase it here (affiliate link)

The air fryer (affiliate link) is designed to give food the crunch and crisp that you would get when you deep fry food, but without the oil.

You are cooking with little or no oil.  So that means you are consuming less fat and fewer calories!  That’s a win!

Side note: If you are in the market for an air fryer, I recently created a post about the best air fryers on the market. The post is based off of reviews from friends, family and online consumers! Be sure to check out the best air fryers on the market!

Air Fryer Fried Pickles

Fried Pickles is literally one of my favorite snacks.  Dip them into ranch and we are in business!

I knew that I needed to put my air fryer to good snack making use and make some air fryer fried pickles. Air Fryer recipes are pretty hot right now. Everyone seems to be coming out with air fryer cookbooks and air fryer recipe books.

There are endless ideas and recipes out there.  Today, it is all about air fryer pickles. When I say they are easy, I am not kidding.

Soggy Gluten Free Fried Pickles

Pickles can hold quite a bit of moisture. If you end up with soggy pickles it is probably because the pickles had a wee bit too much of moisture in them. Next time around, go ahead and pat dry the pickles before coating with the mixture.

Love spicy easy fried pickles?

If you LOVE a little spice or hotness to your food, I have a fix for you! You can add some hot sauce to the liquid mixture during the coating process. This will help give those little pickles some KICK!

Can you change the pickle?

Yes, you can change the pickle if you wish. I would suggest sticking with a dill pickle in spear or rounds. But if you want a sweeter one, you can opt for a bread and butter pickle. My personal opinion is the dill is the way to go!

Can I use a whole pickle?

You can start with a whole pickle. You know the ones that are sold in a big jar on deli counters? You can start with those and use a crinkle cutter (affiliate ad link) to make slices! If you want to make life easy you can just opt for pickle chips that are already pre-cut!

Fried Pickle Dipping Sauce Recommendations

Oh, this is getting me hungry with all this pickle talk! Whether you make your pickles in the air fryer or in the skillet, you need a good dipping sauce! Am I right?!

I am personally a big fan of dipping my air fryer pickles, deep fried pickles OR pan fried pickles into ranch! You can use a commercial brand of ranch, but if you’d like to make a homemade version you can try my dairy-free ranch.

You could also use a spicy mayo or a comeback sauce!

Don’t have an air fryer to make pickles? We have an easy to make skillet recipe that gives you perfect pickle chips each and every time. Check it out. I think you’ll love these gluten free fried pickles!

  4. Gently dip the pickles in egg mixture. Dip into bread crumbs and coat both sides.

Recipe Notes

I used a gluten-free panko bread crumb mixture to meet my dietary restrictions.  I specifically used an Ian's Italian Seasoned one and it was delicious. Use whatever panko bread crumbs fit your needs and your taste.

Run out of egg and pankos in your bowl? Just add more. No biggie. This recipe is MEGA easy, just add more if you need it.

  1. I’m still wondering if an air fryer would make good chicken wings. Your friend pickles look delicious! I know my family would eat them up. I’m trying to decide if an air fryer would give us more reason to eat the healthy foods we need or cause us to fry the foods we don’t fry now. Haha

    • I think it would. I can’t personally say yes, since I’ve never tried it but being a former meat eater I would bet that they would be delicious! 🙂 Ha, I think its a mix of both. You’ll probably try new foods, some might be healthier but it also makes for a good excuse to eat some of those ones that you don’t fry now LOL Its a mix 🙂

  6. I really need to get an air fryer. Does it take a ton of work to cook and clean with it? Typically that’s what turns me off when buying a new kitchen tool or gadget.

    Reply

    • It does not. The clean up is simple. There is a metal basket that comes out of the bottom part. Can easily clean both in the sink or dishwasher! Score!

  15. I used to have a fry daddy…it was a wedding gift many years ago. I think I used it twice then got rid of it because it wasn’t very healthy. But an air fryer is different! I think I need one of these!

  19. Wow! That’s definitely serious for gluten free eaters. My bff is all gluten free and she could never eat anything fried. I feel like I need to surprise her with this!

  20. I just made this. It was really yummy. What type of pickle chips did you use? I used Famous Dave’s signature spicy pickle chips. And the flavor was a bit overpowering. Also do you leave the chips in the egg dip for any amount of time? My bread crumbs didn’t seem to stick as well as your photo. I will make them again. Thanks you for the recipe!!!

    Reply

    • Hi Sue! I’ve used a variety of pickles. That time around I used grillos pickles. I found them in the refridge section at my Kroger and Whole Foods :0 I didn’t leave the chips in the egg a specific amount of time but I did make sure that I flipped the pickle chips to make sure they are completely covered with egg. Then once in the bread crumb mixture, sometimes you have to gently pat the crumbs onto the pickles. Sometime they need an extra helping hand, depending on the pickle 🙂 You are so welcome!
