Oh yes! Air fryer dill pickle dry wings! Welcome to my new favorite lunch-time indulgence! Tons of dill pickle flavor. Through-and-through. Every bite. Crunchy skin that’s loaded with more dill pickle goodness. And a nice cool (and a little spicy) dill pickle dipping sauce on the side! This right here is dill pickle wing heaven!
Dill And More Dill. Then Some More Dill.
These air fryer dill pickle dry wings are not the opportunity to go light on dill flavor. Do not be shy with the seasoning. You season the wings (big time) before they go into the air fryer. Then you season the wings (big time) again after they come out. While they’re hot. The longer they cool the less the seasoning likes to ‘stick’ so get them good and coated while they’re hot.
The dipping sauce packs the dill flavor, too. I add a bit of hot sauce for a nice little kick. You don’t have to do that, it’s totally optional. Or you can add a lot more for a really spicy version. It’s up to you!
