Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Wings
  • 2 pounds Chicken Wings Ensure they're fresh for best flavor.
  • 1 cup Dill Pickle Juice Homemade pickle brine can be a substitute.
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Chopped Dill Dried dill can be used if fresh is unavailable.
For the Coating
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Can substitute with vegetable or canola oil.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Fresh minced garlic can be used for a stronger flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder Make sure it's aluminum-free.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Adjust to taste since dill pickle juice is salty.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Freshly Cracked Black Pepper Skip if you prefer milder flavors.
For Garnish
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh or Dried Dill

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Wire rack
  • large mixing bowl
  • Plastic wrap

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with dill pickle juice and fresh chopped dill. Toss until well coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.
  2. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). After preheating, drain the wings and pat them dry with paper towels.
  3. Toss the dried wings with olive oil, garlic powder, baking powder, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Place a wire rack over a baking sheet and arrange the wings in a single layer on the rack.
  5. Bake the wings for 30 minutes, flipping them at the 15-minute mark for even cooking.
  6. Switch the oven setting to broil on high and broil the wings for an additional 5 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  7. Remove from the oven, let cool briefly, and serve hot, garnished with extra dill and alongside creamy dill ranch dressing.

Notes

Ensure wings are dry before coating for better crispiness. Use a wire rack for optimal cooking and crisping. Monitor while broiling to avoid burning. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
