If course, most football food are apps, because no one wants to sit at the table to eat. They want football on the TV and easy to get finger foods. I recommend things like cheese balls (easy to make), dips, and simple casseroles. Below are pretty simple and quick recipes that I think will be sure to satisfy most of your football foodies .

Made At Home Hot Wings

Ever since I learned recipes on how to make hot wings at home, I don’t waste the money ordering them out. Here’s are a few recipes you can use to make your own delicious and filling Game Changing Snacks … or just give yourself a treat . Oh, you can also switch up flavors if you want !

Ingredients

  1. Bag of party wings (These are usually found in your frozen meat section).
  2.  Cup of flour (this is only necessary if you breaded wings)
  3. 3 Tablespoons of 8th Wonder Spice
  4. 1 stick of Butter or margarine equivalent
  5. 1 bottle of Frank’s Hot Sauce (12.oz)

Directions

  1. Make sure your party wings are thawed. Make a breading by combining the flour with the spice in a plastic 1 gallon freezer bag. After doing so, bread the chicken wings by placing 3-4 wings into the bag and shaking to ensure that the wings are covered completely. Do this until you have the desired amount of bread wings. If you are doing naked wings, omit the aforementioned step.
  2.  Cook your wings …just 4-5 at a time. Crowding and/or rushing will result in uncooked chicken. I like to use a deep fat fryer when I make these,but you can also pan fry, or even oven bake your wings.
  3. While wings are cooking, grab a saucepan and put the stick of butter into the pan and let melt while on medium heat. After butter is melted, add the entire bottle of Frank’s into the pan. Mix the two together and there’s your sauce.
  4. Once wings are done cooking,place them into a glass bowl and carefully pour the wing sauce on top of the chicken. Toss the wings to ensure total coverage. Serve and enjoy !
  5.  NOTE – to make variations of this sauce recipe, just add the extra flavors. For example, add Siracha , Honey, Teriyaki, or a combination of the flavors to make their respective sauces. I love making these and so my friends and family. I hope that you and yours enjoy them as well !
