Pickle flavored things are every where. And now I’m sharing with you this recipe for Dill Pickle Chicken Wings. And you’re going to be obsessed.

How do you make dill pickle chicken wings?

You have GOT to brine.

I mentioned on my Brined Fried Chicken post, how much brining chicken really helps with the flavor and keeping it tender. And as it turns out, pickle juice is one of the best brines for chicken. I even use it on my recipe for popcorn chicken.

After you brine the chicken wings, its important to rinse them and pat them dry. This helps keep them from being too salty.

How to make Baked Chicken Wings

Next, toss the chicken wings with a mixture of dill, salt, pepper and granulated garlic.

Finally, bake them until they’re golden brown and crispy.

How long do you bake chicken wings?

When you go out for chicken wings, most of the time the wings are fried. When I make them at home, I prefer baking them. You can still get them nice and crispy.

Crispy Oven Baked Chicken Wings

One of my favorite tips for crispy baked chicken wings is to cook the wings on top of a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet. This ensures that air circulates around the chicken as it bakes which yields much crispier skin.

Bake the chicken wings at 425 degrees for 25 minutes. Turn the chicken and bake for an additional 10 – 15 minutes or until the skin is golden brown and crispy.

What do you serve with baked chicken wings?

I love to serve potato wedges with my baked chicken wings.

And of course, every good chicken wing also needs a dip. Dipping these Dill Pickle Chicken Wings in Creamy Ranch Dip  is a match made in heaven!

    No added salt necessary.

    I let the chicken sit in the brine for a day.

    Delicious!

  2. Deseree May 23, 2025

    You could brine them a little big longer.You can also add a couple sprigs of fresh dill to the brine to really bring out the dill flavor. :)

  3. Jeff smith Smith May 21, 2025

    If you cut back on the salt and let them set in the brine will it have a more dill pickle taste if not how can I make it taste more like dill pickle

    wow! chicken wings :) I have read so many recipes for wings but this one is amazing and unique. thanks for sharing the recipe.

  18. Deseree July 27, 2021

    Jeremy, I do simply because sometimes the dill pickle brine could be pretty salty. That being said you don’t have to! I would maybe wait to add the salt until after you cook them just in case. :)

  19. Jeremy July 26, 2021

    I can’t understand why you would rinse off the chicken wings, wouldn’t that take away some of the dill pickle flavor?

  20. Deseree July 7, 2021

    Oh I absolutely LOVE this tip!! I am going to have to see if I can find someone near me that does this. :)

  21. Trisha July 5, 2021

    I get my brine from my local butcher, they have a great lunch counter and those great big buckets of pickles, they are so kind and give me a big jug whenever I need some to make these fantastic wings.

  22. Deseree May 24, 2021

    Hope you enjoy them! You can skip it, I would make sure to spray the pan with non-stick spray just to prevent the skin from sticking. :)

  23. Christina Kilby May 24, 2021

    I’m making these today, I’m super excited.
    Can you skip the cooling rack, would you cook for the same amountof time ? I don’t have one or an air fryer.

  25. Deseree May 5, 2021

    haha well we actually eat a large jar of pickles pretty frequently around here so I always save the brine. I think you can buy just the pickle brine, but it might be more expensive than buying a jar of pickles haha

  26. Marilyn May 5, 2021

    Where do you get all the pickle brine without having to eat a whole large jar of pickles first? 😁

  27. Amber March 10, 2021

    Used equal parts dill weed and dill seed. These were so good! They were gone really fast. I should have made more!

    If you want the stronger pickle flavor use dill seed!

    PS. I didn’t realize my last comment left a bad star review and it won’t let me change it.

  28. Deseree March 10, 2021

    Dill weed is what I use. I’ve never used dill seed before but from what I understand it has a stronger dill flavor? That might work if you are a big fan!

  29. Amber March 10, 2021

    I’m not sure if I should use dill weed or dill seed? I’m leaning towards seed but thought I would check here.

    Hi Denise! I usually cook them in the air fryer at 390 for 30 minutes. I will shake it after 15 and then again 10 minutes later. If I want them a bit crispier cook them for another 3 minutes :)

  41. Denise November 18, 2020

    How I you fry them in an air fryer & for how long?

  42. Deseree October 29, 2020

    Hi Amanda! You can TOTALLY use boneless! You won’t have the skin for the crispy exterior but the flavor is still amazing! I have done something similar with my dill pickle popcorn chicken but that involves frying. Keep in mind that the cooking time will probably also be less because there is no bone. Hope you enjoy!

  43. Amanda W. October 29, 2020

    Hi, I dont know if this was asked yet, but do they have to be bone wings, or could I use boneless wings? Thanks, and I’ll be fixing this tonight!🤗

  44. Linda September 16, 2020

    I am thinking of adding baking powder. About how much baking powder would you recommend?

  45. Deseree September 15, 2020

    Hi Linda! This recipe feeds my family of four. But if your family eats a lot of wings or you’re serving it for guests, it can easily be doubled. :)

  46. Linda September 15, 2020

    How many servings is this recipe?
    Thank you!

  47. Deseree June 21, 2020

    You could certainly use chicken legs! Depending on how many legs you are doing, I would double the amount of pickle brine. You just want to make sure that they are covered. As far as the other seasonings go, I’d double those ingredients by half so add an additional: 1 TBL oil, 1 teaspoon dill, 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and just a pinch more salt. You might not even need anymore salt, you could wait until after they are done cooking and taste to see if you should sprinkle some over the finished wings. As far as cooking in the air fryer goes, when I cook chicken legs in the air fryer I cook them at 390 for about 30 minutes and turn them at 15. Depending on the size of your air fryer and the amount of chicken you’re cooking, you’ll need to do this in batches because with chicken legs they all need to be in a single layer. Just keep the finished legs in a warm oven while you cook the second batch. Hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions!!

  48. Lynn June 21, 2020

    Just have a question…..can you use this recipe for regular chicken legs? If so, does the ingredient portions need to be adjusted in any manner? What would the directions be to cook the legs in an Air Fryer? Thanks! Lynn

  49. Deseree May 29, 2020

    Hi Josie! Yes you can to both of those! :)

  50. Josie May 29, 2020

    2 questions..
    1. Can i use veg oil instead of avocado oil?
    2. Can i use fresh dill or do i need to use dried dill?
    Jw..thank you kindly😊

  51. Deseree May 23, 2020

    You can certainly try! Maybe whisk it into the oil/dill combo :)

  52. Alissa May 22, 2020

    I am going to try this as it sounds yummy. I am wondering if I can still add baking powder after the brine as I add that before baking and they come out super crispy.

  53. Dustin May 17, 2020

    Has anyone tried them after frying them in a deep fat fryer?

  54. Deseree May 12, 2020

    Happy to hear that!!

  55. Edward May 12, 2020

    Soaked for about 12 hours. Grilled a dozen loved the taste will do these again. Froze the remainder so another day

  56. Deseree May 10, 2020

    Oh I can’t wait to hear how they turned out!! Thyme is one of my favorite herbs too!

  57. Deseree May 10, 2020

    oooh great idea!!

  58. Joanne May 10, 2020

    I didn’t have dill so I used thyme, can’t wait to eat them. They smell delicious!!

  59. Edward May 10, 2020

    Couldn’t see the large bottle of pickles going to waste so I juiced them and added to the brine on to the soak for the day. Making 10 pounds once done

  60. JoAnn May 8, 2020

    Didn’t have advacado oil So that might be why my smoke alarm was blaring, lol. The wing were very tasty I marinated them for four hrs. sprinkled some paprika on top I also used my convection setting on my oven. Next time I might Cook them on the grill. Tomorrow I have to clean my oven🤨

  61. Kathleen May 7, 2020

    Omg soooo good !!!!!!!

  62. Amanda May 7, 2020

    These were UNBELIEVABLY good. I let them marinate in zesty dill pickle juice overnight and omitted the salt in the seasoning mix. Rinsed and pat dried as recommended. They had an amazing pickle flavor without being too salty. Perfect and crispy! Served with fries, ranch dip and celery, a wonderful dinner! Thank you for sharing!

  63. Paula May 6, 2020

    I marinate them in the pickle juice for 24 hrs!! Then I also add a tablespoon of pickle juice with the oil and seasonings. I then let them it in that for a few hours before baking……more work but adds so much more dill flavor….so yummy!!!!

  64. Pamelia Kopf May 5, 2020

    This sounds so very good, I cant wait to try them!! Thank you so much!!💓

  65. Deseree May 4, 2020

    Oh!! I LOVE that you made them on the grill!! I hadn’t tested them on there yet so it’s great to hear they turned out :)

  66. Walter Gillis May 4, 2020

    I made the wings and cooked them on my gas grill. I used the front and back burners,left the middle one off and placed the wings there. The wings were fantastic maybe better than the oven.

  67. Deseree May 3, 2020

    Hi Cassie! You could always try spraying the cooling rack with non-stick spray. But I have also learned that the chicken will pull up when the skin is crispy. If I try to pull it up before it’s done I notice that the skin tends to stick. So maybe put it back in the oven for a few minutes if it sticks and try again? Hope this helps!

  68. Cassie May 3, 2020

    I haven’t tried these ones in specific. But how do you get them not to stick? I always end up leaving half the skin behind.

  69. Cynthia Ward May 3, 2020

    Can you post the nutritional breakdown for this item.
    Thank You

  70. Deseree May 2, 2020

    Sorry to hear that Rebecca! You could certainly marinate longer and/or not rinse. I typically like to rinse when I use a brine because it can make the meat salty. That being said, you could omit the salt in the oil mixture and then add salt as necessary.

  71. Rebecca Williams May 2, 2020

    We made these tonight. Followed the instructions. Dill flavor was not as we expected. Would like it stronger. We will marinate longer next time and not rinse. They were okay but we were a little disappointed the flavor wasn’t more intense.

  72. Deseree May 2, 2020

    Hi Glynis! Is that the same as an Air-Fryer?

  73. Glynis V Buchanan May 2, 2020

    How long would you cook them in an acti fry?

  74. Luella MacDearmid May 1, 2020

    Sounds good

  75. Deseree May 1, 2020

    Yes! You cook them at 390 for 25 minutes, shaking every 7 minutes :)

  76. Marisa May 1, 2020

    any tips for making these in an air fryer?? TIA

  77. Deseree May 1, 2020

    You can make your own brine! I made a dill brine for this post (https://www.lifesambrosia.com/dill-brined-oven-fried-chicken-recipe/) it makes a large amount of brine but you can simply discard what you don’t use. As far as heat goes, I’m with you! I love adding all kinds of heat to pretty much everything. You could add some crushed red pepper to the brine I’d do about 1/2 teaspoon. PS: Since you said you like everything spicy, you should totally check out my Habanero Hot Sauce Recipe: https://www.lifesambrosia.com/habanero-hot-sauce-recipe/. Thanks for checking out my blog!!

  78. Laura May 1, 2020

    Hi! This looks amazing!
    Two questions…
    what can the brine be if there’s no pickle juice ? Anything you recommend ?
    And two any suggestions in if they’ll be good with some hotness to them. I usually like everything spicy.
    Thank you for sharing your recipes !

  79. Deseree March 9, 2020

    You are so welcome, Tim! Glad you enjoyed them!

  80. Tim March 8, 2020

    Made these tonight- they were awesome! I make my own dill pickles, so had some on hand. Thanks for an awesome recipe!

  81. Deseree January 4, 2020

    So happy you enjoy the wings! Let me know how the legs turn out!

  82. Carol Alder January 4, 2020

    Have made these and they are amazing. Going to try with legs next. Will brine over night and adjust cook time. And ranch is a must!

  83. Deseree December 24, 2019

    I’ve never tried it with boneless wings but I’m sure it would work just fine! You’ll just need to adjust the cooking time. It’ll be less because there are no bones.

  84. Mary December 24, 2019

    Can one use boneless skinless wings?

  85. Mary Eaves December 12, 2019

    Can I forward this to my iPhone to notes or text messages?

  86. Deseree December 10, 2019
  87. Melissa December 9, 2019

    Do you have dip recipe?

  88. Deseree October 2, 2019

    You could easily swap out coconut oil for the avocado oil. I wouldn’t use Virgin coconut oil because it has a lower smoke point. The same goes for butter. The butter would burn if used alone. You could do a combo of butter/high heat oil to help prevent butter from burning though. Hope this helps!

  89. Lisa October 2, 2019

    What about using coconut oil??? Or butter??

  90. Joyejeffcoat September 26, 2019

    I will be trying this!!

  91. Deseree September 25, 2019

    You could use canola oil. Canola has a higher smoke point than vegetable oil but lower than avocado You might get a little bit more smoke when baking the wings but other than that it shouldn’t make a difference!

  92. Nancy September 25, 2019

    I don’t have avocado oil. Can another oil be used in lieu of buying avocado oil?

  93. Deseree September 13, 2019

    That is so great to hear Cheryl! I am so glad you and your husband enjoy them! And it’s great to know that it’s easy to double the recipe too :)

  104. Jennifer Gibson July 7, 2019

    We absolutely love these wings! We usually make about 1.5lbs of wings but use all of the rub on them so they really get the dill flavor. We also make them nice and crispy. The ranch is great to dip in. These wings rival the best in restaurants!

  105. Deseree July 1, 2019

    So glad you liked them!

    I have made pickle juice marinated chicken breasts for several years. The deli at the local grocery store will give me the pickle juice for free from the dill pickles they sell. They toss out the juice when they open the new containers.

  109. Virginia b chandler May 31, 2019

    LOVED THESE WINGS!!!! I love dill pickles, and these wings are DELICIOUS!!! I cooked 425 degrees for 12 minutes, then turned over and cooked at 375 degree for 20 minutes, perfectly cooked and great flavor. I used 2 jars of Vlasic Dill Pickles juice to marinate wings, if you are a dill pickle fan these wings are for you!!!!

  110. Anne May 29, 2019

    The skin didn’t get crispy – I’ll cook lower and longer to get crisp skin. Loved the flavor

  111. Deseree May 27, 2019

    Yay! I’m so happy you enjoyed it! And I agree, ranch is a must!

  112. Lynn Thompson May 26, 2019

    Followed recipe exactly. Wings were just awesome! Ranch dip is a must!

  113. Cat May 20, 2019

    I made these with tenderloins. Marinated in juice for over 24 hours. Made the oil and seasoning mix, put the tenders in that, and put them on a perforated pizza pan. Didn’t really get brown much on the first side in the first 20 mins of baking, I turned them and put on another 20 minutes. That side got a little brown. Maybe next time I will spray a little olive oil on the baking sheet or bake them on a plain pan so they crisp up a little bit more.

    Nice pickle flavor though, you can taste it. I will try these again. I also used Marzetti’s ranch dip and next time would put a bit of juice in the ranch dip and some chopped pickle in it.

    Only 4 stars because they didn’t crisp up like I thought, but that’s probably my fault with maybe not enough oil.

  114. Deisel May 19, 2019

    Not at all, it just helps keep them moist if anything. Same as doing any kind of brine or salt/vinegar chicken. You really dont get very much of a pickle flavor. The majority of the flavor comes from the rub :) I hope you enjoyed yours!! Would love to hear how they turned out!

    The tenderloin I would say definitely longer the better because they are white meat which tends to dry out pretty fast if not absorbing juices while they cook… I find it has a lot to do if they are fresh or the individually frozen tenderloin too.

  115. Diesel May 19, 2019

    Yes!! My Lebanese mother in law actually calls it “pepper” so when she was teaching me Lebanese recipies and said add salt and pepper she meant allspice and ever since then I do it for everything and barely use black pepper anymore unless specifically looking for the peppery taste. (Eggs, salad dressing, chicken, literally everything)

  116. Cat May 19, 2019

    Does the pickle flavor intensify when left in the brine for 24 hours? The meat doesn’t start to break down in that brine for so long? I’m doing this tonite with tenderloins so it might be best to not leave those in for 24 hours, I will do 6 hours and see how that works. I will also bake these, then come back and edit my comment afterwards.

  117. Rick May 19, 2019

    This recipe has cost our favorite watering hole that overlooks the harbor a lot of money. We still go there from time to time, but these new dill wings easily rival theirs for sure. To make our first batch, I sacrificed an unopened jar of large dill slices that I’m not fond of for the juice. I know, it was a waste, but I was eager to try this, and was not disappointed! Our problem is finding the juice here in Juneau Alaska, as we only have three stores. Amazon prime to the rescue. The dill juice wasn’t quite the same, but still acceptable. I made them in our air fryer at 420 degrees for 13 minutes on each side. You can vary the time depending on your crispy factor. YUM, and thank you.

    I am so happy that you enjoyed them! And I am SO SO SO intrigued by the use of allspice instead of pepper!! Do you do that often in recipes?

  119. Deisel May 14, 2019

    Just did these tonight and absolutely loved them!! It turned out sooooo goooood!!!! They were more dilly than pickley so don’t be turned off by the pickle juice! Did it with a side of roasted za’atar veggies, grilled cabbage and tatziki as the dip.

    Some things I changed:
    -Spicey Dill pickle juice instead of regular
    -Brined for 24 hours instead of 2
    -Fresh Dill instead of dried
    -Used allspice instead of black pepper (as always, and if you haven’t tried this substitute you’re missing out)
    -Added a bit of white pepper
    -grilled instead of baked

    […] how bad could it actually taste and I’d use it up somehow. I was also inspired by these Dill Pickle Chicken Wings which I can’t wait to […]

  121. Raye May 13, 2019

    Donna, the garlic and other spices are in the pickle juice which ever one you choose. I prefer Clausen. But she t all gets rinsed off after the bringing step.

  122. Candace @ Our Zesty Life May 11, 2019

    We had these for dinner tonight and they were delicious!! Thank you for sharing this great recipe!

  123. Deseree May 11, 2019

    I’m happy you enjoyed them! And I am loving the changes you made especially the pureeing the pickles! Great idea!

  124. Laura Natal May 11, 2019

    I made these today and they were delicious! I had to cook them longer than recipe. I hit them with the broiler for added crispness and it worked well. I marinated over night and actually pureed some of the pickles and thru in the mix. Really good!

  125. Carole May 11, 2019

    Does anyone know the nutritional value on the wings?

  126. Deseree May 10, 2019

    I think that would be fine!

  127. Vicki May 10, 2019

    Can you marinate overnight

  128. Britney Climer May 9, 2019

    In step 4 on the instructions.

  129. Deseree May 9, 2019

    Meslissann is right :) The oil is mixed with the seasonings and then the mixture is tossed with the wings. This helps them crisp while they are baking. Hope this helps!

  130. Deseree May 9, 2019

    I don’t see why they wouldn’t work on the grill! You’ll likely need to adjust cooking times a bit though. :)

  131. Deseree May 9, 2019

    I saw a couple people on facebook mention that they were going to try smoking them. I’ve never smoked anything (hoping to change that soon!) so I can’t say for sure. But if you smoke other chicken wings I bet it will be just fine!

  132. Melissann May 9, 2019

    You mix the oil with other seasonings. It costs the wings so that you can get crispy wings in the oven. You would definitely need way more oil to pan fry.

  133. kendall May 9, 2019

    Has anyone tried grilling these? Only way I eat my wings…

  134. Cin May 9, 2019

    So I’ve read over this recipe several times and I can’t figure out what you’re supposed to use the oil for. In the beginning, I thought it was to fry the wings but then you bake them. What’s the oil for?

  135. Michelle May 9, 2019

    I’m making these tonight but am thing of smoking them. Any thoughts?

  136. Deseree May 8, 2019

    I rinse because sometimes when you brine, the outside of the meat gets a bit salty. You could skip that step if you’re not worried about it! I would still pat dry though because that is what helps the chicken get extra crispy in the oven. And making them with chipotle pickles sounds AMAZING!

  137. Deseree May 8, 2019

    You could try to deep fry them! I would toss them in the seasoning mixture after frying though so that the dill doesn’t burn :)

  138. Deseree May 8, 2019

    Kara is right! I always buy Claussen pickles and that is what is in the pickle juice. I love the added flavor of the garlic! If you don’t buy claussen pickles you could probably mince up a couple cloves of garlic and add it to the brine :)

  139. Kara May 8, 2019

    It looks like they just used the juice left over from a jar of zesty pickles. I think they just mean for you to use the juice from whatever pickle jar you like. It does look super tasty! I’m trying it this weekend.

  140. Donna May 8, 2019

    The video shows what looks like minced garlic and maybe red chili flakes in the brine mixture,but that’s not in recipe. Can’t imagine that would be bad,just wondering why the recipe doesn’t reflect that. Can’t wait to try!

  141. robert May 8, 2019

    would deep frying be okay

  142. Susan May 8, 2019

    I am going to make these! However, in the directions it states to “rinse” – please explain. Run them under water? Pour off the excess pickle juice and pat dry? Also, I am going to try using the pickle juice from the Chipolte Pickles! Maybe give it a little kick!!!

  143. Deseree May 7, 2019

    Hi Kris! This recipe does serve 4. I tried to plug it into a recipe calculator and it couldn’t calculate the pickle brine for some reason so that is why I didn’t include the nutrition facts with this recipe. Sorry!!

  144. cheryl parker May 7, 2019

    OMG YES!! I am going to try these out in my air fryer!!!

  145. Kris May 7, 2019

    I have this tentatively planned for dinner tomorrow. Looks so good! Do you have the nutritional value and serving sizes? Looks to be pretty Keto safe but when I put it in carb manager it gives me the macros for 1 serving but dont know what that is with this recipe :)

  146. Deseree May 7, 2019

    From a jar of pickles. I always save it after we finish, just for this purpose :)

  147. Cindy May 7, 2019

    Where did you find the dill pickle juice that was used in recipe?

  148. Deseree May 5, 2019

    Would you be using bone-in chicken? Or a boneless chicken thigh?

  149. Amy May 5, 2019

    If making regular chicken, like chicken thighs, using this exact method, how long do you think you’d bake them?

  150. Deseree May 5, 2019

    That is so wonderful to hear Connie! I’m glad you enjoyed them!

  151. Connie Sasser May 5, 2019

    As soon as I saw this recipe on Facebook I knew I wanted to make them. I went out that very afternoon and purchased everything I needed. They were easy to make and absolutely delicious. I dipped them in ranch at first but then realized the dip wasn’t necessary. They were so good without a dip. I will make these often!

  152. Deseree May 4, 2019

    You know, I haven’t! You could certainly try. If you really like spicy, you might try making wings with my habanero hot sauce https://www.lifesambrosia.com/habanero-hot-sauce-recipe/

  153. Deseree May 4, 2019

    Yay! I’m so happy to hear everyone enjoyed them!

  154. Granny Witthoft May 4, 2019

    I fixed these today and believe me they are delicious… All my kids and grandkids love pickles this recipe a keeper.. Thank you for sharing it …

  155. KP May 4, 2019

    Have you tried making these a bit spicy? Just curious as to whether you have added hot sauce or cayenne.

  156. Cindy May 4, 2019

    I’d be willing to bet it was breast slices or the tenders already packaged. You can’t brine already breaded tenders.

  157. Florence Kirton May 4, 2019

    sound good

  158. Michael May 3, 2019

    Breaded chicken fingers or breast slices? May seem like a silly question but I am man.

  159. Greg Douglas May 1, 2019

    I was starting to get frustrated with the reviews – everyone who was GOING TO make them, or “can’t wait to try them,” but up until right here, I couldn’t find anyone that made them.

    Thanks for posting after you made them! (LOL -now I have to leave a star rating to reply to your review…. Irony – I love it!)

  160. Elizabeth B Fronczak May 1, 2019

    looks d elicious

  161. Deseree April 29, 2019

    You’re welcome! Glad to know it works with chicken fingers too!

  162. Cathleen @ A Taste of Madness April 28, 2019

    I agree. People seem to be dill pickling everything, but I am loving every second of it! These wings are no different. I’m not usually a wings girl, but this might make me change my mind!

  163. Julie Eversoll April 28, 2019

    Made this recipe with chicken fingers and they were amazing! Always looking for new good recipes. Thanks!

  164. Mom April 28, 2019

    Jay should say Hey

  165. Mom April 28, 2019

    Jay can you make that “serve with Ranch dip” a link to your ranch dip?

  166. ANNE LAWTON April 28, 2019

    Wow! I love that pickle brine I be these are absolutely amazing!

  167. Marisa F. Stewart April 28, 2019

    We love pickles especially Hubby. Whenever we go out to eat and there is a pickle with my sandwich I give it to him. Never thought of brining with it — we’ll be saving on pickle juice to give this a try.

  168. Deseree April 27, 2019

    TJ- I don’t own an air fryer but I think that if you cook other wings in them and they tun out then it should be just fine!

  169. Aleta April 27, 2019

    What a great idea! I would have never thought of a dill pickle wing! My husband loves dill pickles so he is going to be so excited when I make him these!

  170. TJ April 27, 2019

    Can you dlswitch to an air fryer for these? They look amazing!!!

  171. Katherine | Love In My Oven April 27, 2019

    I’m drooling over these. I am such a chicken wing fan, and I ADORE dill pickle anything. These look sooo good. Love that you actually used the pickle juice!

  172. Deseree April 26, 2019

    Hi Anne! Just use the pickle juice from a jar of pickles. We eat claussen pickles but the juice of any pickles you like will do!

  173. Kelly Anthony April 26, 2019

    You totally had me at dill pickle wings! Ha! Love the idea of a pickle brine. Sounds delicious!

  174. Anne April 26, 2019

    Where can I find the dill pickle juice/brine?

  175. Carrie | Clean Eating Kitchen April 26, 2019

    I must say, I am enjoying pickle everything right now! Great idea to season the chicken wings with the brine! Look forward to trying these!

  176. Tammy April 25, 2019

    Such a unique idea! I can only imagine how flavorful these are…perfect for summer picnics! :D

  177. Erin | Dinners,Dishes and Dessert April 25, 2019

    I know for sure this would be a huge hit in my house!

  178. Elaine Benoit April 24, 2019

    Oh my word, dill pickle wings? I need this in my life. They look delicious and perfect and I need to run to the store for the ingredients!

  179. Veena Azmanov April 23, 2019

    This is flavorful and love the Glaze to the chicken. Best option for a party platter too. The Dill flavor sounds interesting.

  180. Dan from Platter Talk April 23, 2019

    You are so right! Pickle-tasting things are everywhere and your tasty new chicken wing recipe looks like the perfect pairing! Holy cow I can’t wait to try these babies!!

  181. Jackie April 23, 2019

    These have become my new favorite chicken wing EVER! They came out of the oven so crispy and packed with so much flavor. Thank you, for sharing this great tasting recipe with the world.

  182. Beth Pierce April 23, 2019

    These sound delicious! Like little bites of heaven! Excited to give these a try!

  183. Sara Welch April 23, 2019

    These wings will make a great appetizer for our upcoming Cinco de Mayo party! Yum!

  184. Amy @ Little Dairy on the Prairie April 23, 2019

    I love these flavors! Gotta make them soon!

  185. Katerina @ diethood .com April 23, 2019

    Oh my, I love the flavors in this!! Sounds incredibly delicious!!

  186. Kimberly April 22, 2019
