Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1/2 cup dill pickle juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Make sure to pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dill pickle juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss to coat evenly, making sure they are fully submerged in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes or up to 30 minutes.
- Remove the chicken wings from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Place the chicken wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Cook the chicken wings in the air fryer for 25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. You may need to adjust the cooking time based on the size of your chicken wings and your desired level of crispiness.
- After 25 minutes, check the chicken wings for crispiness and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes if needed.
- Remove the chicken wings from the air fryer and toss with additional dill pickle juice if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
Tips
- Pat Dry for Crispiness: Before marinating, make sure to pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This helps achieve that coveted crispy texture by reducing excess moisture.
- Marinate for Flavor: For the best flavor, allow the wings to marinate for at least 10 minutes, but if you have time, let them soak in the dill pickle juice for up to 30 minutes to really absorb those delicious flavors.
- Single Layer Cooking: When placing the wings in the air fryer, arrange them in a single layer to ensure even cooking and maximum crispiness. If necessary, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Shake it Up: Don’t forget to shake the basket halfway through cooking! This helps the wings cook evenly and allows all sides to get that perfect golden brown finish.
- Adjust Cooking Time: Keep an eye on the wings as they cook. Depending on their size and your desired crispiness, you may need to adjust the cooking time by an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Serve with Extra Dill Pickle Juice: For an extra burst of flavor, toss the cooked wings with a splash of dill pickle juice before serving. It enhances the tangy flavor and makes them even more addictive!
