PICKLEBACK WITH VODKA RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine wings and pickle juice. Let marinate in fridge at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours. Drain wings and pat dry.
• Preheat oven to 425° and line a large rimmed baking sheet with a metal rack. In a small bowl, whisk together bourbon, honey, brown sugar, and spices and season with salt and pepper.
• Toss the wings in bourbon-honey, then transfer to prepared baking sheet. Season wings with salt and pepper. Bake until crispy, about 50 minutes.
• Transfer baked wings to a serving plate and sprinkle with dill. Serve with pickles and ranch for dipping.

Steps:

• Scrub the cucumbers with a vegetable brush under cold, running water. Slice off the stem end on each cucumber. Slice each cucumber into 1/4” chips or into spears, as desired.
• Divide the pepper, coriander, bay leaves, garlic and dill between two clean pint jars (you can also place it all into one 1-quart jar). Pack the cucumbers into the jars, making sure they fit tightly and are lined up so there are no big gaps. Lightly rap the jar on the counter to help the ingredients settle into the jar.
• In a small saucepan, bring the white vinegar, salt, water, and red pepper flakes to a boil. Stir to dissolve the salt completely.
• Pour the brine into the jars and set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
• Place the lids on the jars and place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to overnight to pickle, shaking the jar occasionally to redistribute the spices. The pickles will last up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
