Grilled Pickled Chicken Wings
Are you like us? Always have your fridge full of jars filled with pickle juice but no pickles? Okay, maybe that’s just us! But this is a great recipe to use up that pickle juice, and it gives an awesome flavor to your chicken wings!! And allowing your wings to brine in the pickle juice will make them so much richer, juicier and flavorful!
Now let’s enjoy the best Grilled Pickled Chicken Wings
You can cook these on the grill or in the oven! (I recommend the grill- chicken wings are always better on the grill!) Also when marinating the wings in pickle sauce, I recommend letting them sit overnight to get the most out of it!

They were amazing, right? All of my favorite thing in one recipe! Okay, okay… Bourbon is not my favorite thing! But pickles definitely are!
Crispyness is very important to me with chicken wings, and I believe grilling them will make them extra crispy as if you threw them in a fryer!
Perfect for a summer day with friends… Or just hoard them all to yourself! But let me tell you, your chicken wings will be the talk of the party!
Crispy, juicy grilled (or oven-baked) wings coated in a mouthwatering homemade sauce will have you dancing!! Serve it with ranch, blue cheese or your own paleo dipping sauce of choice!
