Dill Pickle Chicken Wings Food

DILL PICKLE CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Place chicken in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour pickle juice over the top and try to ensure all chicken is submerged. Cover and refrigerate for 2 - 4 hours.
• Remove from fridge, rinse and pat dry.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet and set aside.
• In a small bowl whisk together oil, dill, granulated garlic, salt and pepper.
• Pour mixture over wings and toss to coat.
• Place wings on prepared baking sheet and bake 25 minutes. Turn and bake an additional 10 - 15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
• Serve with ranch dip.

DILL PICKLE CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Add the pickle juice and raw chicken wings to a gallon-sized Ziploc bag, and marinate for at least 5 hours in the fridge (or longer if you really like that pickle juice flavor).
• Remove the wings from bag and discard the juice. Pat the wings dry using paper towels. Coat the wings in melted butter.
• Combine all seasonings in a dish, and coat the wings on both sides with the seasoning.
• Grease the air fryer basket and add wings to the air fryer in a single layer. I was able to fit all 12 wings at once.
• Set temp to 370 degrees and 14 minutes. After the first 14 minutes, turn the wings and set the timer for another 14 minutes.
• Alternate oven instructions: Instead of using the air fryer, you can bake the wings in the oven at 425 degrees. Bake for 20 minutes, turn wings over, and bake for another 20-25 minutes until desired crispiness.
• Serve hot with keto ranch dip and enjoy!

PICKLE-BRINED FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Drain the juice from the jars of pickles into a baking dish or bowl. Add the chicken and flip to coat. Let brine, refrigerated, for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F and line a baking sheet with a cooling rack. Fill a Dutch oven halfway with oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat to 320 degrees F.
• In 3 bowls or baking dishes, set up a breading station. In the first dish, mix the flour with the salt, paprika and pepper. In the second dish, mix the hot sauce, mustard and eggs. Put the cracker crumbs in the third dish.
• Dredge each chicken piece first in the flour mixture, then in the egg mixture, then in the crackers. Place the breaded chicken pieces in the oil a few at a time. Don't overcrowd the pan; the pieces should not be touching in the oil. Fry, turning occasionally, until the chicken is a deep golden brown and fully cooked to 165 degrees F when checked with a thermometer, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet and place in the oven until ready to serve.

DILL PICKLE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Season chicken pieces with seasoned salt and pepper. Heat oil in an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat; add chicken and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, discarding any accumulated grease from the skillet.
• Reduce heat to medium and deglaze the skillet by adding balsamic vinegar. Stir gently to loosen any browned bits, until the vinegar has reduced by half and looks syrupy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add stewed tomatoes and pickles, breaking the tomatoes into smaller pieces with a spoon. Bring to a simmer, about 5 minutes. Return the browned chicken to the skillet, skin-side down, and cover tightly with a lid or foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Uncover and continue to cook until the sauce is thick, 10 to 15 minutes. Skim off any accumulated grease before serving.

PICKLE-FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag; cover with pickle juice. Seal and refrigerate for 3 hours.
• Drain pickle juice from thighs. Cover chicken; refrigerate until ready to fry.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat 2 inches oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Pour buttermilk and flour into 2 separate bowls. Season flour with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken in buttermilk. Toss in flour. Return to buttermilk and toss in flour a second time. Place chicken on a rack set over a baking sheet.
• Fill Dutch oven with as many thighs as possible without crowding. Cook at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Place thighs on the baking sheet. Repeat until all pieces are fried. Transfer thighs to the oven.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 8 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Season with a pinch of salt.
