Dill Pickle Chicken Wings
Dill Pickle Chicken Wings will be your new favorite wing! Baked Chicken Wings get a dill pickle twist with pickle brine. The whole family will love these easy baked chicken wings.
Is it just me or are Dill Pickles all the rage these days? I mean there are dill pickle flavored potato chips, pickle soup and even pickle back jello shots.
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.
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.
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!

January 4, 2024 at 4:19 pmCan u make this in an Air Fryer? If so, how long & what tempature please & thank you!! 🙂
Deseree
January 4, 2024 at 9:14 pmYes! I have made these in the air fryer! I cooked them at 390 degrees for 30 minutes. I shook them once at 15 minutes then again after 10 more minutes. :)
Jennifer Gast
September 10, 2023 at 12:18 pmThese were really good! I marinated for 24 hours, did not rise, patted dry and brushed oil and herbs on. I made in air fryer at 385° for 22 minutes. Dipped in ranch. Yummy!
Deseree
September 10, 2023 at 8:16 pmSo happy to hear you enjoyed it, Jennifer!
Cindy
May 16, 2022 at 10:16 amThis is the best chicken wing recipe ever!! I’ve made these for several different parties and they are gone in no time. For even more dill try dill pickle dip instead of ranch!
Deseree
May 16, 2022 at 9:16 pmI’m so happy to hear that, Cindy!! I am going to try it with dill pickle dip next time!
Debbie
December 2, 2021 at 2:33 pmTop with chopped dill pickles yummm!
Deseree
December 3, 2021 at 10:33 amOhhh sounds so good!
Jennifer clark
September 18, 2021 at 10:34 amThat’s great! It looks so tasty. I’ll definitely try this amazing recipe. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful content.
Tara
September 3, 2021 at 8:57 amOMG you’re amazing and I can’t wait to try these for football!!!!!!
Camila
August 8, 2021 at 10:49 amwow! chicken wings :) I have read so many recipes for wings but this one is amazing and unique. thanks for sharing the recipe.
Jeremy
July 26, 2021 at 11:41 pmI can’t understand why you would rinse off the chicken wings, wouldn’t that take away some of the dill pickle flavor?
Deseree
July 27, 2021 at 4:15 pmJeremy, 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. :)
Trisha
July 5, 2021 at 3:17 pmI 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.
Deseree
July 7, 2021 at 3:57 pmOh I absolutely LOVE this tip!! I am going to have to see if I can find someone near me that does this. :)
Christina Kilby
May 24, 2021 at 4:13 amI’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.
Deseree
May 24, 2021 at 8:15 amHope 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. :)
Marilyn
May 5, 2021 at 8:50 amWhere do you get all the pickle brine without having to eat a whole large jar of pickles first? 😁
Deseree
May 5, 2021 at 9:52 amhaha 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
Amber
March 10, 2021 at 7:21 pmUsed 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.
Amber
March 10, 2021 at 9:34 amI’m not sure if I should use dill weed or dill seed? I’m leaning towards seed but thought I would check here.
Deseree
March 10, 2021 at 3:30 pmDill 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!
Diana Miller
February 7, 2021 at 6:09 amTelling this our air fryer for Super Bowl
Deseree
February 7, 2021 at 9:52 amOh they work great in the air fryer!! I’ve made them a couple of times that way. Hope you enjoy them!
Dana
January 2, 2021 at 4:11 pmPretty underwhelming dill flavor. Great baked wing recipe, but not “dill” wings.
Deseree
January 2, 2021 at 4:31 pmSorry you weren’t happy with them, Dana. You could always add more dill if you like. :)
Mary Ann
December 20, 2020 at 9:19 amThis sounds like a very interesting combination that I have to try! It makes me want to try using the liquid from the pepperoncinis too. Yum!
Deseree
December 21, 2020 at 11:26 pmOhhh I bet that would be SO good!!
Denise
November 18, 2020 at 11:37 amHow I you fry them in an air fryer & for how long?
Deseree
November 18, 2020 at 12:27 pmHi 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 :)
Amanda W.
October 29, 2020 at 11:27 amHi, 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!🤗
Deseree
October 29, 2020 at 3:16 pmHi 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!
Linda
September 16, 2020 at 8:32 amI am thinking of adding baking powder. About how much baking powder would you recommend?
Linda
September 15, 2020 at 1:06 pmHow many servings is this recipe?
Thank you!
Deseree
September 15, 2020 at 2:51 pmHi 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. :)
Lynn
June 21, 2020 at 4:46 amJust 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
Deseree
June 21, 2020 at 9:21 amYou 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!!
Josie
May 29, 2020 at 4:44 pm2 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😊
Deseree
May 29, 2020 at 6:25 pmHi Josie! Yes you can to both of those! :)
Alissa
May 22, 2020 at 11:20 amI 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.
Deseree
May 23, 2020 at 7:43 amYou can certainly try! Maybe whisk it into the oil/dill combo :)
Dustin
May 17, 2020 at 9:45 amHas anyone tried them after frying them in a deep fat fryer?
Edward
May 12, 2020 at 1:41 amSoaked for about 12 hours. Grilled a dozen loved the taste will do these again. Froze the remainder so another day
Deseree
May 12, 2020 at 8:18 pmHappy to hear that!!
Joanne
May 10, 2020 at 2:44 pmI didn’t have dill so I used thyme, can’t wait to eat them. They smell delicious!!
Deseree
May 10, 2020 at 6:10 pmOh I can’t wait to hear how they turned out!! Thyme is one of my favorite herbs too!
Edward
May 10, 2020 at 6:16 amCouldn’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
Deseree
May 10, 2020 at 6:10 pmoooh great idea!!
JoAnn
May 8, 2020 at 5:27 pmDidn’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🤨
Kathleen
May 7, 2020 at 6:04 pmOmg soooo good !!!!!!!
Amanda
May 7, 2020 at 5:28 pmThese 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!
Paula
May 6, 2020 at 2:52 pmI 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!!!!
Pamelia Kopf
May 5, 2020 at 10:10 amThis sounds so very good, I cant wait to try them!! Thank you so much!!💓
Walter Gillis
May 4, 2020 at 7:44 amI 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.
Deseree
May 4, 2020 at 9:25 amOh!! 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 :)
Cassie
May 3, 2020 at 2:04 pmI 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.
Deseree
May 3, 2020 at 3:59 pmHi 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!
Cynthia Ward
May 3, 2020 at 9:48 amCan you post the nutritional breakdown for this item.
Thank You
Rebecca Williams
May 2, 2020 at 6:42 pmWe 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.
Deseree
May 2, 2020 at 6:51 pmSorry 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.
Glynis V Buchanan
May 2, 2020 at 1:46 pmHow long would you cook them in an acti fry?
Deseree
May 2, 2020 at 6:39 pmHi Glynis! Is that the same as an Air-Fryer?
Luella MacDearmid
May 1, 2020 at 2:52 pmSounds good
Marisa
May 1, 2020 at 12:38 pmany tips for making these in an air fryer?? TIA
Deseree
May 1, 2020 at 12:40 pmYes! You cook them at 390 for 25 minutes, shaking every 7 minutes :)
Laura
May 1, 2020 at 3:17 amHi! 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 !
Deseree
May 1, 2020 at 8:39 amYou 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!!
Tim
March 8, 2020 at 9:11 pmMade these tonight- they were awesome! I make my own dill pickles, so had some on hand. Thanks for an awesome recipe!
Deseree
March 9, 2020 at 9:32 pmYou are so welcome, Tim! Glad you enjoyed them!
Carol Alder
January 4, 2020 at 1:11 pmHave 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!
Deseree
January 4, 2020 at 2:33 pmSo happy you enjoy the wings! Let me know how the legs turn out!
Mary
December 24, 2019 at 7:24 amCan one use boneless skinless wings?
Deseree
December 24, 2019 at 10:04 amI’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.
Mary Eaves
December 12, 2019 at 2:43 pmCan I forward this to my iPhone to notes or text messages?
Melissa
December 9, 2019 at 6:30 pmDo you have dip recipe?
Deseree
December 10, 2019 at 4:00 pmYes! Right here :) https://www.lifesambrosia.com/creamy-ranch-dip-recipe/
Lisa
October 2, 2019 at 7:10 amWhat about using coconut oil??? Or butter??
Deseree
October 2, 2019 at 12:17 pmYou 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!
Joyejeffcoat
September 26, 2019 at 7:12 amI will be trying this!!
Nancy
September 25, 2019 at 11:01 amI don’t have avocado oil. Can another oil be used in lieu of buying avocado oil?
Deseree
September 25, 2019 at 12:04 pmYou 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!
Cheryl Lincoln
September 12, 2019 at 7:32 amWe love these chicken wings…..I make these (double recipe) at least twice a month. They’re easy and my husband and I absolutely love them!!!
Deseree
September 13, 2019 at 4:37 pmThat 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 :)

September 1, 2019 at 9:46 pmThis looks fantastic. I needed a bat wing recipe for my Halloween party. This might be it!
Barbara Campbell
August 29, 2019 at 5:13 amI’m got to try these

Deseree
August 25, 2019 at 3:46 pmYou are so welcome! Glad you enjoy it!

August 22, 2019 at 9:45 amMade these and the cat and the dog were watching and willing one to fall on the floor!! Seriously, they were terrific! Smelled and tasted great!!
Deseree
August 22, 2019 at 1:04 pmhaha animals are so funny! I am so glad you enjoyed them!
Karen Winnichuk
July 29, 2019 at 4:39 pmI made these in the Actifry, and they were so delicious! My kids loved them too! Thanks for the great recipe.
Deseree
July 29, 2019 at 9:50 pmYou’re welcome! I am so happy that you enjoyed them!
Mary Helton
July 27, 2019 at 12:52 pmgreat flavor easy to do will make again for sure!
Jennifer Gibson
July 7, 2019 at 9:44 amWe 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!
Donnie Williams
July 1, 2019 at 8:18 amI tried it this weekend. It’s great!
-Donnie W.

June 19, 2019 at 10:56 amOh my goodness I can’t wait to make this! Thank you for sharing. Looks so delicious.
MJ
June 2, 2019 at 5:48 pmI 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.
Virginia b chandler
May 31, 2019 at 11:18 pmLOVED 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!!!!
Anne
May 29, 2019 at 5:38 amThe skin didn’t get crispy – I’ll cook lower and longer to get crisp skin. Loved the flavor
Lynn Thompson
May 26, 2019 at 6:54 amFollowed recipe exactly. Wings were just awesome! Ranch dip is a must!
Deseree
May 27, 2019 at 5:37 pmYay! I’m so happy you enjoyed it! And I agree, ranch is a must!
Cat
May 20, 2019 at 3:22 pmI 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.
Rick
May 19, 2019 at 8:04 amThis 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.
Deisel
May 14, 2019 at 8:25 pmJust 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
Deseree
May 15, 2019 at 8:00 amI 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?
Diesel
May 19, 2019 at 4:47 pmYes!! 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)
Cat
May 19, 2019 at 10:02 amDoes 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.
Deisel
May 19, 2019 at 4:54 pmNot 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.
Candace @ Our Zesty Life
May 11, 2019 at 8:17 pmWe had these for dinner tonight and they were delicious!! Thank you for sharing this great recipe!
Laura Natal
May 11, 2019 at 2:11 pmI 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!
Deseree
May 11, 2019 at 4:24 pmI’m happy you enjoyed them! And I am loving the changes you made especially the pureeing the pickles! Great idea!
Carole
May 11, 2019 at 2:23 amDoes anyone know the nutritional value on the wings?
Vicki
May 10, 2019 at 11:34 amCan you marinate overnight
Deseree
May 10, 2019 at 1:35 pmI think that would be fine!
kendall
May 9, 2019 at 12:05 pmHas anyone tried grilling these? Only way I eat my wings…
Deseree
May 9, 2019 at 1:38 pmI don’t see why they wouldn’t work on the grill! You’ll likely need to adjust cooking times a bit though. :)
Cin
May 9, 2019 at 11:19 amSo 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?
Melissann
May 9, 2019 at 1:25 pmYou 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.
Deseree
May 9, 2019 at 1:38 pmMeslissann 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!

May 9, 2019 at 1:39 pmIn step 4 on the instructions.
Michelle
May 9, 2019 at 7:18 amI’m making these tonight but am thing of smoking them. Any thoughts?
Deseree
May 9, 2019 at 1:37 pmI 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!
Donna
May 8, 2019 at 11:32 amThe 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!

May 8, 2019 at 8:26 pmIt 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.
Deseree
May 8, 2019 at 9:27 pmKara 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 :)

May 8, 2019 at 9:38 amwould deep frying be okay
Deseree
May 8, 2019 at 9:28 pmYou could try to deep fry them! I would toss them in the seasoning mixture after frying though so that the dill doesn’t burn :)

May 7, 2019 at 7:12 pmOMG YES!! I am going to try these out in my air fryer!!!
Kris
May 7, 2019 at 5:43 pmI 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 :)
Deseree
May 7, 2019 at 9:02 pmHi 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!!
Cindy
May 7, 2019 at 6:31 amWhere did you find the dill pickle juice that was used in recipe?
Deseree
May 7, 2019 at 7:59 amFrom a jar of pickles. I always save it after we finish, just for this purpose :)

May 5, 2019 at 6:00 pmIf making regular chicken, like chicken thighs, using this exact method, how long do you think you’d bake them?
Deseree
May 5, 2019 at 8:57 pmWould you be using bone-in chicken? Or a boneless chicken thigh?

May 5, 2019 at 1:56 pmAs 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!
Deseree
May 5, 2019 at 3:59 pmThat is so wonderful to hear Connie! I’m glad you enjoyed them!

May 4, 2019 at 4:04 pmI 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 …
Deseree
May 4, 2019 at 11:02 pmYay! I’m so happy to hear everyone enjoyed them!

May 4, 2019 at 1:09 pmHave you tried making these a bit spicy? Just curious as to whether you have added hot sauce or cayenne.
Deseree
May 4, 2019 at 11:04 pmYou 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/
Susan
May 8, 2019 at 7:30 amI 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!!!
Deseree
May 8, 2019 at 9:29 pmI 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!

April 28, 2019 at 5:43 pmI 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!

April 28, 2019 at 4:10 pmMade this recipe with chicken fingers and they were amazing! Always looking for new good recipes. Thanks!
Deseree
April 29, 2019 at 8:54 amYou’re welcome! Glad to know it works with chicken fingers too!
Michael
May 3, 2019 at 3:40 amBreaded chicken fingers or breast slices? May seem like a silly question but I am man.
Cindy
May 4, 2019 at 12:57 pmI’d be willing to bet it was breast slices or the tenders already packaged. You can’t brine already breaded tenders.
Mom
April 28, 2019 at 1:48 pmJay can you make that “serve with Ranch dip” a link to your ranch dip?
Mom
April 28, 2019 at 1:49 pmJay should say Hey
ANNE LAWTON
April 28, 2019 at 12:33 pmWow! I love that pickle brine I be these are absolutely amazing!
Marisa F. Stewart
April 28, 2019 at 8:18 amWe 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.
Aleta
April 27, 2019 at 6:27 pmWhat 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!
TJ
April 27, 2019 at 6:24 pmCan you dlswitch to an air fryer for these? They look amazing!!!
Deseree
April 27, 2019 at 8:47 pmTJ- 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!

April 27, 2019 at 1:07 pmI’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!
Kelly Anthony
April 26, 2019 at 4:33 pmYou totally had me at dill pickle wings! Ha! Love the idea of a pickle brine. Sounds delicious!
Anne
April 26, 2019 at 1:31 pmWhere can I find the dill pickle juice/brine?
Deseree
April 26, 2019 at 4:38 pmHi 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!
Carrie | Clean Eating Kitchen
April 26, 2019 at 5:07 amI must say, I am enjoying pickle everything right now! Great idea to season the chicken wings with the brine! Look forward to trying these!

April 24, 2019 at 8:12 amOh 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!
Veena Azmanov
April 23, 2019 at 8:44 pmThis is flavorful and love the Glaze to the chicken. Best option for a party platter too. The Dill flavor sounds interesting.

April 23, 2019 at 2:36 pmThese 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.
Greg Douglas
May 1, 2019 at 4:50 pmI 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!)
Beth Pierce
April 23, 2019 at 10:40 amThese sound delicious! Like little bites of heaven! Excited to give these a try!
