Instructions:
- Marinate the Wings:
- In a large bowl or a resealable plastic bag, combine the chicken wings and pickle brine. Make sure the wings are well-coated.
- Cover the bowl or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. You can also place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet for crispier wings.
- Prepare the Wings:
- Remove the chicken wings from the pickle brine and pat them dry with paper towels. This step helps to get them crispy when baking.
- In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using) until evenly coated.
- Bake the Wings:
- Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet or wire rack.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through the cooking time.
- Serve:
- Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Enjoy them as-is, or with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce!
Tips:
- For Extra Crispiness: You can also use a convection setting on your oven if available, which will help to make the wings extra crispy.
- Air Fryer Option: If you prefer, you can cook the wings in an air fryer. Cook at 375°F (190°C) for about 25-30 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
Enjoy your tangy, keto-friendly chicken wings!
