Tailgate Touchdown
Wings and chili are MVPs on game day
Few things can ruin a good game like getting “hangry” before kickoff. Nailing the food lineup is key during football season. These easy recipes bring the perfect blend of flavor and heat, and will get you enjoying the festivities in no time, whether you’re tailgating at the stadium or “homegating” on your couch.
To make sure you lock in a win at your party, serve Buffalo wings. There’s at least three reasons these wings keep defending their champ status: they’re tasty, easy to make and easy to eat.
It’s always good to have more than one play in your back pocket. Turn to another tried-and-true, one-pot classic: chili. You can cook it on a portable stove or in a slow cooker. All you need is 15 minutes to build flavor and you’re good to go. Enjoy your chili on its own or spoon it on top of hot dogs or nachos.
