Is that drool on your lip? We're not surprised, these savory wings are one-of-a-kind and sure to curb that pickle craving. In this recipe, chicken wings are first brined in a homemade dill pickle brine, then grilled hot and fast on the wood pellet Pit Boss for a wing that's juicy and flavorful.

Not a fan of the spice? Leave the red chili flakes out of the brine for a milder (but still pickle-y) result!

Ingredients

  • 12 chicken wing sections
  • 5 1/4 cups pickle juice
  • 2 oz. fresh dill
  • 7 garlic cloves
  • 1 tbsp red chili flakes
  • Pit Boss GSP Rub
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup pickles, chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cup salad/canola oil

Directions

  • To make the brine, combine 5 cups pickle juice, 1 oz. chopped dill, 6 chopped garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp red chili flakes into a large container or bag.
  • Add the chicken wings to the brine, cover and refrigerate. Allow to brine for at least 2 hours. Pro Tip: Brine your chicken wings overnight for best results.
  • When you're ready to grill, preheat your grill to 450°F.
  • Remove the wings from the brine and pat dry with a paper towel. Brush lightly with olive oil and season with BBQ rub.
  • Grill the wings on the lowest rack of your grill, rotating often with tongs to ensure even cooking and coloring.
  • While wings are cooking, make your sauce by combining 1 egg, 1 garlic clove, 1 oz. dill, 1/2 cup pickles, 1/4 cup pickle juice, and 1 tsp salt in a blender.
  • Blend on low, then slowly increase the speed to high. Slowly add 1 1/2 cups of oil to the blender to create an emulsion. Transfer this sauce to a small bowl and set aside.
  • Once the wings reach an internal temperate of 165°F, remove from the grill and brush or serve with homemade pickle sauce.
