Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken wings, fresh or thawed
  • 1 cup dill pickle juice
  • 2 tablespoons pickle seasoning or dill pickle powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon cornstarch or baking powder for extra crispiness

Instructions

  1. Prep and Marinate Your Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure better crispiness. Place them in a bowl or container and soak in dill pickle juice for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for a more intense tangy flavor.
  2. Season Your Wings: Drain the marinated wings and lightly coat them with olive oil. In a separate bowl, mix pickle seasoning, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and if desired, cornstarch or baking powder. Toss the wings in this seasoning mixture until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange Wings on Baking Sheet: Place the wings spaced out on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to allow air circulation, which enhances crispiness. Make sure the wings do not touch.
  4. Bake to Golden Perfection: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the wings for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking and browning. The skin should be golden and crispy, while the meat remains juicy and tender.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Allow the wings to rest for a few minutes after baking. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces or garnishes, ready to be enjoyed.

Notes

  • Pat wings dry before marinating to promote crispier skin.
  • Use a wire rack over a baking sheet to allow airflow and even crisping.
  • Flip wings halfway through baking for uniform browning.
  • Adjust marinating time in pickle juice to control tanginess.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming and loss of crispiness.
