Servings: 8 people
Equipment
Ingredients
- 24 chicken wings, cut in 3 and tip discarded renders 48 pieces
- 2 20 oz jars of Claussen Dill pickles in the refrigerated section
- 1 tbs olive oil
- 2 tbs adobo
Instructions
- Cut chicken wings in 3 pieces and discard the tip. I usually rinse each wing after I cut it.
- Place the wings in a bowl.
- Strain the pickle juice in a large cup or over the wings with a strainer. Because the pickles are in the jar, this is helpful. I put the pickles back in the jar and used them to make fried pickles.
- Cover and brine for 5 hours, 3 hours minimum. You can brine longer for a stronger pickle taste.
- When ready, place wings on a paper towel lined large baking sheet and pat them dry with more paper towels.
- Once done patting dry. Place in a dry large bowl.
- Sprinkle olive oil and adobo. Mix well.
- Air fry at 425º degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. Turn the wings over, air fry another 25 minutes or until the wings are nice and golden.
