Air Fryer Dill Pickle Dry Wings

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!

Air Fryer Dill Pickle Dry Wings

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!

Air Fryer Wings with Buffalo Arby’s Sauce

Earlier this week I made my homemade (sorta) Arby’s roast beef sandwiches. Instead of making my own, I picked up a bottle of Arby’s sauce at the grocery store. For days, every time I opened the fridge, that half-used bottle was staring at me. Calling me. “What should I do with it?” I thought. Well, only one answer came to me: “Make a wing sauce!”. So I did. And that’s how air fryer wings with Buffalo Arby’s sauce came to be. And they were a very good thing. That great Arby’s sauce tang, with a little Buffalo sauce inspiration and flavor added in. They might sound crazy because they were. Crazy good, that is!

Air Fryer Wings with Buffalo Arby's Sauce

Can You Buffalo-ize Anything?

These air fryer wings with Buffalo Arby’s sauce raises the question “Can you turn any sauce into a Buffalo wing sauce-like sauce?”. Maybe. I’ve certainly tried plenty of times. And usually I end up with something I like. And truth be told, it’s a great way to use up those half-bottles of sauces you’ve had in the fridge for a few weeks longer than you should’ve. Heck, what do you have to lose? Try them. You might just like them.

Yep, for extra heat, add more hot sauce. I was gonna say that earlier but forgot.

Jalapeno Pepper Jelly Wings

Why do I keep doing this to myself? Why do I keep making wings that are so good that I can’t stop eating them? I keep thinking I’ll have a sandwich tomorrow for lunch, but it never happens. Not when there are wings to be had, like these jalapeno pepper jelly wings. These were great. Not complicated, but great. And messy. Good and messy. The finger-licking kind of messy.

Jalapeno Pepper Jelly Wings

The key to these jalapeno pepper jelly wings is the jelly. Use a good one. A really good one. One with pepper chunks in it. The real stuff. You know what? Buc-ee’s has fantastic pepper jelly. Not just jalapeno, either. And the price is right, too. I backed up the truck last time we were there. Loaded up. Got them all. They’re not only great on wings, they’re delicious over smoked cream cheese. Or on a peanut butter sandwich (that I never have, because I keep making wings).

These wings weren’t super-spicy. Not at all. Now, they could be. It’s all up to the jelly you use. The one from Buc-ee’s is pretty tame but you’ll notice some heat. I’d call it a ‘nice’ level of spiciness.

Dill Pickle Dry Wings using the Vortex

For my money, nothing adds great cooked-outdoors flavor like a Vortex. It’s definitely one of my favorite tools for making perfect wings, time and time again. Today I made a batch of delicious dill pickle dry wings using the Vortex. Easy, with crunchy skin and moist meat, these wings pack in the dill pickle flavor from start to finish. You’re not going to be hunting for that great pucker-up dill pickle flavor in these wings, it’s everywhere!

Dill Pickle Dry Wings using the Vortex

Keep The Shy On The Sly

Load up on the dill pickle seasoning when you make some dill pickle dry wings using the Vortex. From start to finish. Pour it on. You cannot make these wings ‘wrong’ other than to not add enough dill pickle flavor. And make the dipping sauce, too. No ranch or blue cheese here. Add more dill pickle flavor. It’s a party.

Instructions

For the creamy dill pickle dipping sauce

  • Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.

For the wings

  • Place the wings into a large resealable container or baggie.
  • Add the oil and half of the seasoning. Seal and shake to coat well.
  • Refrigerate for 3 hours.
  • Place the Vortex into the center of your grill. Open the bottom vents on your grill by 1/3, while keeping the top vent open completely.
  • Light a charcoal chimney full of charcoal. Alternatively, you can fill your Vortex with charcoal and light them inside the unit.
  • Let the charcoal get fully ashed over and add to the Vortex.
  • Add the chicken. For the flats have the skin side up, and for the drumettes keep the meaty part away from the fire.
  • Close the grill and cook for 15 minutes.
  • Rotate the lid 90 degrees and cook for another 15 minutes.
  • Flip the wings. Rotate the lid another 90 degrees and cook 15 more minutes.
  • Check if the wings are as crispy as you like. If not, rotate the lid another 90 degrees and cook another 15 minutes.
  • Transfer wings to a bowl and toss with more of the seasoning.

Notes

I’ve not found that rotating the grill has an affect on how great this wings turn out. So don’t sweat it if you forget to do it.

Soy-Ginger Glazed Air Fryer Wings

8? 12? 18? How many of these soy-ginger glazed air fryer wings could I eat? Well, I’m not telling. But the answer is definitely ‘a lot’. The sauce on these wings is sweet, salty, savory… and slightly citrusy. No heat here. But plenty of amazing sweetness that is beyond finger-licking good. I actually made this sauce for roasted Brussels sprouts, but after tasting it I realized that its true calling was on wings. And boy, was I ever right!

Soy-Ginger Glazed Air Fryer Wings

Yesterday Seems So Far Away

You have to make the glaze for these soy-ginger glazed air fryer wings the day before you plan on devouring them. Don’t realize 10 minutes before it’s time to eat that you need to make it. That’s too late. Do it the day before and refrigerate it overnight. You’ll then have the perfect glaze. Thick. Like molasses. Delicious. And oh so worth it.

The Air Fryer? Again?

No, no, you don’t really have to make these wings in the air fryer. Make the glaze the day ahead. Then make the wings however you want. I went air fryer because that’s my go-to less-mess technique. Grilled, deep-fried, baked… doesn’t really matter. Just make some wings your way. Then glaze them!

Need Heat?

If you’re a gotta-have-it-spicy person, add a few pinches of red pepper flakes to the glaze while it’s simmering happily away. Let it flavor the sauce. Don’t go crazy with it, though. A little is ok. A lot? You’ll overwhelm the delicious sauce.

For the wings

Instructions

For the glaze (make the day ahead!)

  • Combine the brown sugar, sugar and soy sauce in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
  • Bring to a simmer and continue simmering, stirring often, until the sauce reduces by one half. The sauce will thicken somewhat and will continue thickening as it cools later.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the fresh ginger.
  • Let cool then place into a resealable container in the fridge overnight.
  • Bring to room temperature before serving. I set the container out while I prepare the Brussels sprouts.

For the wings

  • Note: Before starting, remove the glaze from the fridge so it can come to room temperature while you cook the wings.
  • Lightly spray the basket of your air fryer with non-stick spray. Preheat per manufacturer’s recommendation.
  • Sprinkle over the wings with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
  • Note: You'll have to work in batches to cook all of the wings unless you have a super-large air-fryer. Do not overlap the wings in the basket or they will not cook evenly.
  • Add the wings to the basket (be careful it’s hot!). If you have trouble fitting them without overlapping, stand the drumettes along the sides of the basket.
  • Cook at 360 F for 12 minutes for large wings, 10 minutes for smaller ones.
  • Carefully flip the wings (rotate the drumettes if they are standing) and cook another 12 minutes again (10 minutes for smaller wings) at 375 F.
  • Flip the wings one last time. Increase the temperature to 390 F and cook another 6 minutes (4 minutes for smaller wings).
  • Remove and toss or brush with the glaze.  Click here for our guide on how to sauce your wings.

Notes

For a spicy version add a few good pinches of red pepper flake to the glaze while it is reducing.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce on the side, if desired.

Garlic Parmesan Ranch Wings

I got thru a lot of paper towels. A lot. Because I eat a lot of messy wings. And messy is good. These garlic Parmesan Ranch wings had me reaching for extra paper towels. Lots and lots of butter. Lots of garlic. And of course, lots of cheese. With a wonderful Ranch flavor to boot. Yeah, these are finger-licking good. But you’ll still need paper towels!

Garlic Parmesan Ranch Wings

Make Extra Sauce

I made plenty of extra sauce for these garlic Parmesan Ranch wings. It’s nice to have a little extra on the side, in a little cup, for dipping my wings for extra happiness. But also, any leftover sauce is great for other things. And by other things I mean garlic bread. Man, is the sauce ever great for soppin’ with a big ole slice of garlic bread! So make extra and thank me later!

You don’t really have to deep-fry your wings. Just make the sauce and use it on wings cooked however you prefer.

Buttery Popcorn Wings

There are times in your life when you just kick back for a second and think ‘oh yeah, that’s what I needed’. And you smile. Hopefully that happens often for you. It did for me as soon as I took a bite of my buttery popcorn wings. I often have popcorn for a side with my lunch. It’s tasty and low-carb. And I even might squirt a little buttery popcorn oil on it. Well, the other day I was sitting there enjoying a hot-out-of-the-air-fryer dry wing and looking at my bowl of popcorn and boom! Duh! I sure love that buttery flavor, I thought. I looked at my wings. And I looked at the popcorn. The next, as they say, is history.

Buttery Popcorn Wings

Extra Butter And Napkins, Please

Yeah, I’ve seen it. And I’ve done it. Asked the person at the concession stand at the movie theater to put a couple extra pumps of butter on my popcorn. You can do that with these buttery popcorn wings too. Heck, you’re at home. No one’s watching. Load up. But, really… Don’t do it. I think there is a such thing as too much butter. Just this one time. Every other time, yes, load up. Here, you’re going for the kiss of buttery flavor goodness. And a great wing seasoning, too. The two go together well. Don’t drown them. Trust me.

HP Brown Sauce Wings

I’ve never had HP Brown Sauce. It’s always intrigued me. Finally, I found it on sale (I’m cheap) and headed straight to making a wonderful wing sauce. This sauce is amazing. I loved it. Really loved it. And I’ve had a ton of wing sauces, both homemade and store-bought. The base sauce is thick and savory. Almost like a thick Worcestershire sauce. Almost BBQ sauce-like, but without the smokiness or seasonings. So I added a little of that. In the end I got a nicely thick, slightly spicy and slightly sweet sauce that was absolutely fantastic.

HP Brown Sauce Wings

Sauce-o-rific

These HP Brown Sauce wings really hit the spot. Honestly, the wings themselves are a bit secondary. You just cook up some wings. Doesn’t really matter how. Grill. Deep-fryer. Oven. Air-fryer. Doesn’t matter. Just season them lightly. Don’t introduce flavors that fight this sauce. It’s money. It’s great. Don’t ruin it. Like by putting it on lemon pepper wings!

Taco Sauce Wings

I wasn’t really bored with my usual hot sauce-based wing sauces. Heck, I have tons of different hot sauces I can use to make a quick good wing sauce. Nope, I just happened to open the fridge, saw a bottle of taco sauce, and made the quick decision that I needed it on some wings. And that’s what I did. I made taco sauce wings. Good wings made better with a little spiciness and great flavor. Nothing fancy. But tasty.

Which Way To Go?

Your taco sauce wings can take a few different directions. Mild. Medium. Hot. You can make the mild milder. Or the hot hotter. It’s up to you. Just vary the amount and style of taco sauce, and the amount of butter. Easy. Uncomplicated.

Want More?

If you want, you can add a little more ‘stuff’ to your taco sauce-based wing sauce. A pinch of cayenne stirred in is a good place to start. Some chile powder doesn’t hurt either. Heck, sneak in some Fajita seasoning. Just don’t go crazy with it. Add it, but don’t make it overwhelming.

British Pub-Style HP Brown Sauce BBQ Wings

It didn’t take me long to become a huge fan of HP Brown Sauce. To describe it I guess I’d call it like a thick A-1 steak sauce. But also kind of Worcestershire-sauce like. It’s almost like a BBQ sauce, but without the seasoning. Add a few extra ingredients and it makes for a tremendous wing sauce. These British pub-style HP sauce BBQ wings take little time to prepare. And even less time to devour. I loved them!

British Pub-Style HP Brown Sauce BBQ Wings

Ch-ch-changing

You can adjust the flavor of these British pub-style HP Brown Sauce BBQ wings pretty easily. Just play around with different BBQ sauces. I loved using a honey BBQ sauce that had a little smokiness to it. Use a spicy sauce for even more heat. The HP brown sauce is a wonderful base that you can tinker with a bit. No matter what, you’ll love the sauce.

Oh yes, this sauce is fantastic on smoked pulled pork or ribs and of course, chicken!
