- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, flour, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper.
- In another shallow dish, add the breadcrumbs.
Cooking
- Working one at a time, dip a pickle in the egg wash, coat it in the breadcrumbs, then transfer it to a baking sheet.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Add the pickles in a single layer, leaving some space between each pickle. Spray with oil and air-fry for 5-7 minutes.
- Flip the pickles, spray with more oil, then air-fry for another 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
Serving

Notes
Make sure to dry the pickles well for best results. Experiment with spices in the breadcrumb mix for added flavor. Preheat the air fryer for even cooking.
