Get ready to elevate your wing game with Nick Keith’s mouthwatering Brine & Swine Wings. These party-style wings are seasoned to perfection with Ranch powder and Big Unc’s All Purpose Rub, then smoked until tender and seared in savory bacon fat for an irresistible crunch. A creamy, tangy, and spicy fusion of Melinda’s Spicy Garlic Parmesan, Jalapeño Ranch, and Hot Honey coats each wing before they’re rolled in crispy chopped bacon. Finished with a zesty homemade pickle-pepper garnish and a sprinkle of fresh dill, this bold and briny recipe is the ultimate flavor bomb for your next backyard cookout or game day feast.
