Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine fresh chicken wings with dill pickle juice and fresh chopped dill. Toss the wings well, cover, and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.
  2. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Drain the wings and pat them dry with paper towels.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the wings with olive oil, garlic powder, baking powder, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper, tossing to coat evenly.
  4. Place a wire rack on a large sheet pan. Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the rack.
  5. Bake the wings for 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even crisping.
  6. Switch the oven to broil and broil the wings for an additional 5 minutes, watching closely for a golden color.
  7. Remove the wings from the oven and serve immediately with a side of creamy dill ranch dressing for dipping.
