Back when I was living in Colorado, there was this restaurant that served the most amazing chicken wings, especially the ones with garlic butter. They quickly became my all-time favorites. But when I moved to Texas, I realized we didn't have that restaurant here, and I started missing those wings like crazy!
So, I decided to try and recreate the recipe myself, and let me tell you, not only did I manage to make them just as good as the ones from that restaurant, but I honestly think they turned out even better! The garlic butter recipe I came up with, paired with our special Zesty Italian seasoning blend, is an absolute winner.
If you're a fan of buttery garlic wings like I am, you've got to give this recipe a shot. These wings are truly out of this world, and I think you'll love them just as much as I do!
