At first, dill pickle chicken wings may sound a little crazy, until you remember one of the most popular fast food chains uses pickle juice in their recipe (McDonalds!). Using a dill pickle brine, these wings turn out moist and flavorful, with a hint of salt and garlic.

  • 3 garlic cloves, pressed through a garlic presser
  • 1/2 tsp fresh cracked black pepper

  2. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the avocado oil, dill seasoning, garlic, salt and pepper.
  4. Remove the wings from the bag, rinse, and pour out the liquid. Place the wings back in the bag and toss with the oil and dill mixture.
  5. Place the wings on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, flip, and bake an additional 10 minutes until the chicken registers 165 degrees F. Serve immediately and enjoy!
