Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 pounds fresh or thawed chicken wings
  • 1 cup dill pickle juice
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (use gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Wings: Soak the chicken wings in dill pickle juice for at least 1 hour to infuse tangy flavor and tenderize the meat. For a more pronounced pickle taste, marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
  2. Preheat the Oven and Prepare Wings: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the wings dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture, enhancing crispiness. In a large bowl, toss the wings evenly with olive oil, baking powder, dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
  3. Arrange and Bake: Place the wings on a wire rack set over a lined baking sheet to allow air circulation. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through cooking, until the skin is golden and crispy and the meat is cooked through.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Let the wings rest for a few minutes after baking. Garnish with fresh dill or a squeeze of lemon if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy your crispy, tangy dill pickle chicken wings!

Notes

  • Use baking powder, not baking soda, to achieve the perfect crispy skin without any off-flavors.
  • Patting the wings dry before coating is essential for crispiness.
  • Marinating longer, preferably overnight, deepens the dill pickle flavor.
  • Baking on a wire rack promotes even cooking and prevents sogginess.
  • Flip the wings halfway through baking for uniform crisping and browning.
