Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Wings

  • 2 lbs fresh whole chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes

Marinade

  • 1 cup dill pickle juice

Coating

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour or cornstarch (for gluten-free option)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried dill weed
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Finishing

  • Cooking spray or 2 tbsp olive oil (for spraying or brushing)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Wings: Soak the chicken wings in dill pickle juice for at least 1 hour, allowing the wings to absorb the tangy flavor and tenderize the meat.
  2. Prepare the Coating: In a large bowl, combine the flour or cornstarch with garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill weed, paprika, salt, and pepper, mixing well to create a flavorful coating.
  3. Coat the Wings: Remove the wings from the marinade, letting excess liquid drain off, then toss them thoroughly in the seasoned flour mixture so each wing is evenly coated.
  4. Arrange and Spray: Place the coated wings in a single layer on a greased baking sheet or wire rack. Lightly spray each wing with cooking spray or brush with olive oil to encourage browning and crispiness.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Bake the wings in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 35-40 minutes. Flip the wings halfway through baking to ensure even crispiness and golden edges with juicy interiors.

Notes

  • Marinate wings overnight for deeper flavor.
  • Pat the wings dry before coating for a crisper crust.
  • Use a wire rack on the baking sheet for better air circulation and crunch.
  • Do not overcrowd the wings; give them space to cook evenly.
  • Adjust baking time as needed based on your oven’s performance.
