Pat each pickle slice dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.
Set up an assembly line with 3 large shallow bowls. In the FIRST bowl, put the flour. In the SECOND bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and Worcestershire sauce. In the THIRD bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, seasoned salt, garlic powder, and paprika.
First, coat each pickle slice in flour. Next, dip it into the buttermilk mixture. Last, dip it into the panko mixture, being sure to coat both sides and gently pressing the panko onto the pickle.
Working in batches, add the pickle slices to the air fryer basket.
Cook at 400° F for about 8 minutes, until the pickles are heated through and the panko coating is crispy and lightly browned. If desired, flip halfway through cook time.
