Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings and dill pickle brine. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
  2. In another bowl, mix the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Remove the wings from the brine and pat dry with paper towels. Dredge each wing in the flour mixture until well coated.
Cooking
  1. In a large pot or deep fryer, heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Fry the wings in batches for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Remove the wings from the oil and let them drain on paper towels.
  4. Serve hot with ranch, blue cheese, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Ensure to not overcrowd the fryer and let wings dry before frying for the best crispy texture. Experiment with homemade dill pickle brine for depth.
