\t\t\t\t\"wings\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of America\u2019s most watched sporting events takes place this Sunday. Are you ready? Did you know that 9\u00a0out of 10 Super Bowl viewers watches the game at home or at a friend\u2019s house.\u00a0 Here are a few easy snack options to get your fans touchdown ready for the big game (or for their commercial watching, depending on your audience).<\/p>\n

Chicken Wings
\n<\/strong>An estimated 1.23 billion chicken wings will be consumed by American\u2019s during this year\u2019s Super Bowl. Don\u2019t be left out. Follow this easy recipe from chow.com<\/a> for some tasty wings. Be sure to remember the blue cheese dressing and celery sticks too!<\/p>\n

What You’ll Need<\/em>
\n<\/strong>1 1\/2 cups\u00a0(12 ounces) mild to medium\u00a0hot sauce,\u00a01\/2 cup\u00a0buttermilk,\u00a01\/2 teaspoon\u00a0garlic powder,\u00a03 pounds\u00a0chicken wings, separated into 2 pieces and wing tips discarded,\u00a04 tablespoons\u00a0unsalted\u00a0butter\u00a0(1\/2 stick), melted<\/p>\n

Directions
\n<\/strong><\/em>Place 1 cup of the hot sauce, the buttermilk, and the garlic powder in a large resealable plastic bag and stir to combine. Add the wings; seal the bag, pressing out any excess air; and turn the bag to coat the wings evenly. Let marinate in the refrigerator, turning occasionally, for at least 2 hours or up to 12 hours.\u00a0Heat the broiler to high and arrange a rack in the middle of the oven. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on it.\u00a0Remove the wings from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and arrange in a single layer on the rack. (If possible, don\u2019t allow the wings to touch.) Discard the marinade and broil the wings until the meat starts to pull away from the bones and the skin is deep golden brown, bubbling, and crisped, about 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn the wings over using tongs. Return wings to the oven and continue broiling until the skin is deep golden brown, bubbling, and crisped on the second side, about 12 minutes more.\u00a0Meanwhile, combine remaining 1\/2 cup hot sauce and melted butter in a large bowl and set aside. Add cooked wings and toss to coat. Serve immediately with blue cheese dressing and celery sticks, if using.<\/p>\n

Seven Layer Dip
