# How to Make It:
01 -
Lay out paper towels and arrange pickles in a single layer. Cover with additional paper towels and allow excess moisture to be absorbed for several minutes.
02 -
In a shallow dish, whisk eggs with flour, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
03 -
Place panko breadcrumbs in a separate shallow dish.
04 -
Individually dip each pickle slice into the egg mixture, then evenly coat with breadcrumbs. Transfer coated pickles to a baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded.
05 -
Preheat the air fryer to 200°C. Arrange breaded pickles in a single layer, leaving space between each piece. Lightly spray with oil and cook for 5–7 minutes. Turn pickles, spray again, and continue to air-fry for another 5–7 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
06 -
In a small bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, minced onions, garlic, and optional dill. Mix until smooth.
07 -
Present the hot, crispy pickles with the prepared dip alongside.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Drying the pickles thoroughly prevents sogginess and ensures a crisp coating.
02 -
For extra flavour, add a pinch of smoked paprika to the breading.
