  2. Bread the pickles. Set up a breading station with 3 containers. In the first container, combine flour with the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Combine beaten eggs and pickle juice in the second container, and add the panko breadcrumbs to the third container. Dip a pickle slice in seasoned flour. Shake off any excess flour, then coat with egg mixture. Let the excess egg drip off, then coat the pickle in panko crumbs. Repeat until all of the pickles are breaded.

  3. Prepare the basket. Spray the basket with the olive oil spray.  Arrange the pickles in the basket and spritz them lightly with the spray. There should be a little space between the slices.
