The best part about football season? Day drinking and appetizers. The most elite game day appetizer? Hands down the chicken wing.
In college, I would post up at the downtown wing spot and house 2 dozen easily. My go too order was always half classic buffalo and half lemon pepper. When developing this recipe I definitely wanted to do a traditional buffalo, but I also wanted to spruce up the usual lemon pepper.
My version, the Calabrian Chili Garlic, is a lot lot a lemon pepper wing suace with the addition of hot and tangy fermented chilis. These bring a heat that compliments the lemon garlic butter perfectly. And with the addition of some fresh parsley, they taste almost refreshing if that makes sense.
I plan on making these every weekend this fall because they are literally so good, and let’s be honest, eating messy finger food like sauce drenched chicken wings in the comfort of your own home is always the move. ESPECIALLY nowadays..
