Ingredients
  

  • 8-10 chicken wings
  • sea salt
  • fresh ground black pepper
  • ½ cup dill pickle juice check labels for Whole30, I use Grillo's
  • 3 cloves garlic peeled and sliced along the length
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried dill
  • Ranch dressing, for serving optional

Equipment

  • Air fryer

Method
 

  1. Lay the chicken wings out on a flat surface and pat dry. Season generously with sea salt and fresh ground black pepper on both sides. Place in a large bag for marinating. Add in the dill pickle juice and the garlic gloves and massage to make sure the chicken is submerged in the pickle juice. Place in the refrigerator to let marinate overnight, at least 8 hours.
  2. When you are ready to cook, mix the baking soda, garlic powder, and dried dill together in a small bowl. Add a pinch of fresh ground black pepper and stir to combine.
  3. Remove the chicken wings from the marinating bag and dry the wings as much as possible. Distribute the seasoning mixture evenly over the wings and use your hands to rub the mixture in all over each wing. Place the wings on your air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving room around each wing as your air fryer will allow.
  4. Air fry at 400° F for 6 minutes. Use tongs to flip the wings over. Air fry at 400° F for 6 minutes more, or until each wing is cooked through. Serve hot with pickle spears and ranch dressing on the side for dipping and enjoy!
