Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 2 pounds (907 grams) bone-in chicken wing sections, fresh or frozen (thawed if frozen)
Seasonings and Spices:
- 2 teaspoons (10 grams) garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon (5 grams) onion powder
- 1 teaspoon (5 grams) salt
- 1 teaspoon (1 gram) dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon (1 gram) dried dill
- 1 teaspoon (1 gram) dried chives
Liquid and Oil:
- 1 cup (237 milliliters) dill pickle juice from a jar of pickles
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil
Serving:
- Ranch dressing for serving
Instructions
- Immerse chicken wing sections in dill pickle juice within a spacious container, guaranteeing complete liquid coverage. Refrigerate for a thorough 2-3 hour marination process.
- Configure oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a wire rack positioned atop a baking sheet, applying a delicate oil mist to prevent potential adhesion.
- Remove wings from pickle juice marinade, meticulously eliminating excess moisture using fresh paper towels. Gently coat wings with a light olive oil drizzle.
- Craft a dynamic seasoning blend combining garlic powder, onion powder, salt, dried parsley, dried dill, and dried chives in a separate mixing vessel.
- Distribute the aromatic seasoning mixture comprehensively across wing surfaces, massaging spices into each piece to ensure maximum flavor penetration.
- Strategically position wings on prepared wire rack, maintaining deliberate spacing to facilitate optimal heat circulation and crispiness development.
- Roast within preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes, executing a midpoint rotation to guarantee uniform browning and exceptional textural crunch.
Notes
- Pickle juice brine tenderizes chicken wings, creating a tangy and juicy flavor profile that elevates the entire dish.
- Patting wings dry before seasoning ensures maximum crispiness and helps the spice blend adhere perfectly to the meat.
- Choosing a wire rack allows hot air to circulate underneath the wings, delivering an extra crispy texture without excess oil.
- Turning wings midway through baking promotes even browning and prevents any soggy or undercooked sections.
- Ranch-inspired seasoning blend combines dried herbs for a zesty, restaurant-quality taste that makes these wings irresistibly delicious.
- High oven temperature of 425°F guarantees a golden-brown exterior while keeping the inside tender and succulent.
