Super Bowl Sunday can rival Thanksgiving day in the food department around our house. In a family filled with sports nuts, the biggest game day of the year usually results in a marathon of horribly-bad-for-you, wonderfully delicious foods.
Some of our favorites include: Buffalo wings, buffalo chicken dip, mozzarella sticks, homemade pizza and potato skins.
Here are the recipes...
Buffalo Wings
5 pounds chicken wings
1 cup hot sauce (we like Frank's Red Hot)
2/3 cup melted butter
oil
Heat oil in deep fryer or deep pot until approximately 375* (when the handle/back of a wooden spoon bubbles when you put it in, then it's ready)
Add batches of wings in hot oil for approximately 10-15 minutes then remove. (Check the inside for pinkness)
Combine hot sauce and melted butter in large bowl, add wings to bowl. Cover wings with sauce and serve with ranch or bleu cheese dressing and celery.
