These Dill Pickle Chicken Wings are a tangy and crispy treat perfect for game day or any casual gathering. Marinated in dill pickle juice and fresh dill for hours, the wings are baked to perfection with a crispy skin thanks to a baking powder coating. Finished under the broiler for extra char and crunch, they’re garnished with dill and served hot for an irresistible snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Wings Marinade

  • 2 lbs chicken wings
  • 2 cups dill pickle juice
  • 1 teaspoon fresh chopped dill

Seasoning & Coating

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum free*)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Garnish

  • Fresh or dried dill (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Marinate Wings: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken wings, dill pickle juice, and fresh chopped dill. Toss well to ensure all wings are coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours to infuse the wings with tangy dill pickle flavor.
  2. Preheat and Prepare Wings: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Remove the wings from the marinade, discard the pickle juice, and pat the wings thoroughly dry with paper towels to ensure crispiness.
  3. Season the Wings: In a large bowl, add the dried chicken wings along with olive oil, garlic powder, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the wings are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
  4. Arrange for Baking: Place the wings in a single layer on a wire rack that is set over a large sheet pan. This setup allows air circulation around the wings for even cooking and crispiness.
  5. Bake the Wings: Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Halfway through baking, flip the wings using tongs to promote even browning and crispy texture on both sides.
  6. Broil for Crispiness: After 30 minutes of baking, turn the broiler on high. Broil the wings for an additional 5 minutes, watching carefully until they are charred and crispy to your liking.
  7. Serve: Transfer the wings to a large plate or platter. Garnish with fresh or dried dill as desired, and serve immediately, ideally with dill pickle ranch dressing for dipping.

Notes

  • Make sure to pat the wings completely dry before seasoning to ensure they get crispy in the oven.
  • Use aluminum-free baking powder to avoid any metallic taste.
  • Marinating between 2 to 4 hours allows the best flavor infusion; overnight marinating is not recommended as the wings may become too salty.
  • If you don’t have a wire rack, you can place the wings directly on a foil-lined baking sheet but flip more frequently.
  • Adjust broiling time depending on your oven’s intensity to prevent burning.
