Green Buffalo Wings

I was making different marinated wings at work for the stuperbowl at the crack of dawn and I asked myself, “why not green buffalo wings?” So I made it happen. The sauce is just like the orange buffalo sauce made with a cayenne pepper base, but now with green tabasco. I added a bunch of minced garlic and a serrano pepper to give it an extra kick.
