Drain the pickle chips and blot well with a clean kitchen cloth or paper towel.
1.5 cups pickle chips
In one bowl combine cornmeal, panko, Tony's, dill, and breadcrumbs, a beaten egg in another, and flour mixed with baking powder in another. Set up an empty plate.
It's easiest to work in batches of 2-3. With your left hand, dredge three pickles through the flour and shake the excess off.
With your left hand, drop them into the egg mixture, stirring to coat.
Use your right hand and drop them into the breadcrumb bowl. Place your breaded pickles onto a plate.
Once you've finished breading all of them, spray the pickles with olive oil spray while they're still on the plate. Really coat them well and then let them sit 2-3 minutes.
2 tsp olive oil
Brush the basket of the air fryer with olive oil or use a piece of air fryer parchment, and gently place the pickles in the basket. Don't overcrowd.
Cook for 5 minutes at 390F degrees. Flip (easiest to use the tines of a fork). Spray the tops with additional olive oil spray if they need it.
Cook for an additional 3 minutes and then serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
After spraying the olive oil on the breading, allow it to sit for 2-3 minutes. This will allow the panko to soak up the oil, creating the crunchiest coating.
You can use buttermilk in place of the egg.
To make these pickle chips gluten-free or low carb, replace all the flour/bread crumbs with almond flour.
