Ingredients
- Chicken Wings (20 pieces or about 1 pound): The base of the dish, providing a meaty canvas for the flavors.
- Dill Pickle Juice (1.5 cups): Infuses the wings with tangy dill flavor and ensures they are moist and tender.
- Olive Oil (2 tablespoons): Aids in crisping the skin and helps the seasoning adhere to the wings.
- Garlic Powder (1 teaspoon): Adds depth and a warm, aromatic flavor to the seasoning blend.
- Onion Powder (1 teaspoon): Brings a subtle sweetness and complements the garlic.
- Salt (1/2 teaspoon): Enhances the overall flavor profile of the wings.
- Dried Parsley (1 teaspoon): Introduces a light, herby note to the mix.
- Dried Dill (1 teaspoon): Amplifies the pickle theme with its distinct tangy taste.
- Dried Chives (1 teaspoon): Provides a mild onion-like flavor, rounding out the ranch seasoning.
- Ranch Dressing: Serve as a dip, amount based on personal preference.
Instructions
Step-by-step Instructions
- Brine the Wings: Place the chicken wing sections in your chosen container and cover them with the dill pickle juice. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
- Prepare for Baking: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Set a wire rack on a baking sheet and apply oil spray to prevent sticking.
- Season the Wings: After brining, drain and pat the wings dry. Toss them with olive oil, then thoroughly mix your seasonings and sprinkle them over the wings, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
- Bake: Arrange the wings on the wire rack, spaced apart for airflow. Bake for 40 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even crispiness.
- Serve: Once baked to perfection, serve the wings hot, accompanied by ranch dressing for dipping.
Notes
- Flavor Variations: Introduce different herbs or spices into the seasoning mix for variety.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair wings with celery sticks, carrot sticks, and additional pickle slices for a full platter.
- Make Ahead: Brine and season the wings in advance, then bake just before serving for fresh, hot wings.
