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.

Reviews
Can you use another type of pepper? Jalapeños are a little too spicy for us.
What if you don’t have an air fryer?
I don’t like Jalapeños to I left them off. But these were so easy and fun! My husband loved them as well. I will make for the family for the next big event!.
