DILL PICKLE WINGS… super easy, perfectly cooked and irresistibly delicious chicken wings served with an epic Dill Pickle Mayo for dipping. The pickle juice acts as a “ready-made” brine that flavours the meat and helps make them extra juicy. These were an instant fan favourite when I first shared the recipe back in 2019 and I still hear from people making them to this day. The only recent addition to this recipe is that I’ve started adding a tiny bit of baking soda to the wings. Baking soda is alkaline and helps raise the pH of the chicken skin, resulting in a better browning and crispier crunch. You can bake them on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper, a wire rack set above a sheet pan, or you can use your air fryer .
