Traditionally, pickle bites have a smoky flavor, but Ree wanted to make a spicy, sweet and sticky version, which she achieved by adding jalapeño and using barbecue sauce for basting. They make a tasty appetizer for entertaining and are certain to go down well with any crowd.

Ingredients

Directions

Special equipment:
an air fryer
  1. Lay a half slice of bacon flat on a surface. Top with a pickle chip and a jalapeño slice. Wrap the bacon around both and secure with a toothpick. Continue with the remaining ingredients.
  2. Air fry at 370 degrees F for 6 to 7 minutes, then flip. Place back in the air fryer at 360 degrees F until the bacon is cooked, another 6 to 7 minutes. Baste with the barbecue sauce and air fry for an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Serve with the ranch on the side for dipping.
