Looking for good lip smacking, finger licking wings, this is the recipe for you. Spicy Garlic & Lemon Pepper Wings Air Fried to crispy perfection slathered in a mildly spiced Garlicky & Lemon Pepper sauce. A three in one bite with all flavor and crunch to go with it.

I enjoy Chicken Wings on any day of the week. Fried, baked, grilled, Air Fried and slathered in any one of the many sauces I have created over my lifetime of cooking. A perfect wing provides a well seasoned and crispy outer skin while providing tender pull off the bone goodness. Chicken provides different cuts which all provide different flavor profiles. We all know it as the breast, wing, thigh or leg. The lighter the meat, the milder the taste. The darker the meat, the more flavor it tends to have. Chicken wings are a bit of both, white meat with deep juicy flavor. In addition, they have a higher fat content which provides a concentrated poultry flavor reminiscent of dark meat option. It doesn’t need much seasoning to flavor however, it doesn’t hurt to add your own.

Three of my favorite wings sauces are Hot, Garlic & Lemon Pepper. Spice is my life and Garlic & Lemon Pepper just taste so darn good. As a result, put all three together and the wow factor takes Spicy Garlic & Lemon Pepper Wings to a whole new level. The perfect sauce to slather on a crispy Air Fried wing if I may say so. If you don’t have an Air Fryer, prepare them using any other option. Same flavor, different route. It’s a one stop option with minimum work and perfect for game night, dinner and a movie, appetizer or if you are like me, wings on any night of the week. Check out this recipe and give it a try. In conclusion, I cannot promise anything less than my version of a flavorful and delicious Wing.
