Superbowl Party Ideas

So this Sunday is the big game day lets impress the guests with a planned spread. Most guests come for the food anyways so make it easy on yourself. Start prepping everything Friday or Saturday.

Chicken wings

2 lbs of frozen or fresh wings
5 tbsp lemon pepper
1 tbsp coarse ground pepper
1 tbsp sea salt
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp paprika
1 tsp ground mustard (dried)

Hot sauce and butter (optional)

Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl then cover all the wings with the dry rub. Place in a preheated 350 degree oven for 35 minutes covered with foil.

Uncover and bake another 10 minutes.

For the sauce if using, melt 1/2 stick butter and add 1 cup of texas pete hot sauce. Add to a large mixing bowl and coat the wings.

Serve with blue cheese dressing, celery and carrots.


Crudites

Carrots (baby or chopped in to sticks)
