I’m not really sure what happened. I had made a batch of wings for my lunch like I so often do. I sauced them. And I swear I blinked and they were gone. Just bones left. I checked under the table and nothing. That’s what happens when you make these The Dirty Buffalo Garlic Lemon Pepper wings at home. I’m pretty sure it happens at the restaurants too. They’re probably used to it by now. Man, is this ever a great sauce. And a bit different too.

This is not a Buffalo wing sauce. These are not Buffalo wings. These The Dirty Buffalo Garlic Lemon Pepper wings are kissed lightly with garlic. And lemon. Ditto, just the right amount. And pepper. Plenty of it but not too much. You might think you’re putting salad dressing on your wings. Don’t let your brain get in the way of having fantastic wings. Grab a bottle of this sauce and go back some wings! This is great stuff and like mine, your wings will disappear like that!
Just Make Some Wings!
I used my simple air fryer recipe for these wings. But any wings will do as long as they aren’t seasoned heavily. You don’t want anything to fight with the great flavors from this sauce. So keep the wings simple. And enjoy the sauce!
