Recipe Reviews
This website is amazing there is always something to make and usually it ends up perfect because of the simple steps you have to follow.
Zesty and delicious just how I like it, thx for sharing it with us.
I added a few more spices to this instead of just black pepper and kosher salt, I used some chili powder and garlic powder then tossed on some horseradish.
Kids favorite chicken wings of all time because they love pickles so much, I actually added some sweet pickles to the side instead of just plain dill ones.
Delicious one of my favorite lunches/ dinners of all time this is super good with a side of fries and some beer!
Ate them cold for work yesterday cause our microwave is broken and have to say they actually taste really good even when not heated up.
Takes a long time to make these pickleback wings, though they are tasty.
Good ingridents and affordable also amazing tasting so 5 stars from me all the way for sure.
Best chicken wing meal out there that you can make in your own home, would recommend.
Obsessed with these chicken pickleback wings, one of my all time favorites along with the chicken wing marinade recipe.
Who knew that pickle juice could be used to make such a delicacy!
It's almost like eating at a 5 star resturant whenever I make something from this website my entire family is swooning,LOL!
My husbands favorite I make it for him everytime his friends come over to watch the game on TV :)
Anything with pickles is a winner in my opinion so this was a great recipe.
Can't say anything bad about these chicken wings, just make sure you cook them properly and follow the ingridents cause they taste bomb without any changes.
The ranch dressing just doesn't go well with this so next time not using it.
Loved making this and the way it tasted, had it with a side of mashed potatoes and gravy.
My mother wasn't too sure about this recipe cause she thought it would taste extremely salty due to the amount of pickle juice needed but when we tried it out the honey and sugar really helped blend out the flavor.
Awesome Idea never in thought of making pickleback chicken wings until I saw these.
A little sour in my opinion but if you like sour stuff this is a winner for you, I'll stick to the Korean wings though haha.
Well done! Verified!
