1 cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons Kosher salt, separated
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon mustard powder
2 large eggs
1 ½ cups panko breadcrumbs
1 (12-ounce) jar thick-cut sliced pickles (such as Nathan's Kosher Dill Chips), drained
nonstick cooking spray (Avocado, canola, or vegetable oil preferably in an aerosol can), about 2 tablespoons

Have ready three shallow bowls or trays for a dredging station. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F for 10 minutes.
In the first tray, whisk together the flour, 1 teaspoon salt, garlic powder, paprika, and mustard powder. In the second tray, whisk together the eggs with 2 tablespoons of water. In the third tray, mix together the panko breadcrumbs with a ½ teaspoon of salt.
Fully coat each pickle slice in the seasoned flour and shake off the excess. Submerge in the egg mixture, allow excess to drip off, and then transfer to the tray of panko. Coat thoroughly with the panko, applying gentle pressure as needed to ensure the coating adheres. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet.
Once you have all of the pickles coated, transfer them to a large, rimmed baking sheet and mist the tops and sides with the nonstick cooking spray. Flip each pickle, and mist the other side.
Add a single layer of pickles to the basket of the air fryer and cook at 400°F for 5 minutes. Remove the pickles chips, and repeat with the remaining pickles.
