Dill pickle. More dill pickle. And then, yes, even more dill pickle! These deep-fried dill-pickle wings satisfied my dill pickle craving in four ways! A wonderfully-seasoned fried wing coated in flour and of course, dill pickle seasoning. Sprinkled with more seasoning hot out of the fryer. A little cool dill pickle dipping sauce. And of course, a few dill pickle slices. These are my kind of dill-icious wings!
Light On The Batter, Heavy On The Flavor
I didn’t go crazy with the batter on these deep-fried dill pickle wings. Just enough to get a good little crunch in every bite. And lots of dill flavor. I seasoned the flour heavily. I wasn’t shy at all. Experience has taught me that more is always better when it comes to seasoning flour. After all, these aren’t called deep-fried flour wings. So load up on the dill pickle yumminess!
My technique for making deep-fried dry wings always makes for the best wings!
