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!

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!

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.

Ingredients

For the wings

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.

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!

These Market District Zesty Dill Pickle wing sauce wings are… dill-icious! There, I said it. I knew I would. The name says it all. Zesty. Dill. Pickle. They aren’t lying, nope. I’m a huge fan of dill pickles, especially the juice left in the jars after I devour all of the pickles. Boy does it ever make for good chicken wing marinade! But I digress! Now I can get all of that great dill flavor, now in a bottled wing sauce that is yummy creamy to boot!!
