Ingredients Method Notes

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.

Method
 

Step-by-step Instructions
  1. 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.
  2. Prepare for Baking: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Set a wire rack on a baking sheet and apply oil spray to prevent sticking.
  3. 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.
  4. Bake: Arrange the wings on the wire rack, spaced apart for airflow. Bake for 40 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even crispiness.
  5. 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.
