Winning Wing Recipes

Southern Living

Chicken wings have become as important to a super bowl party as cold beer and peanuts. Food historians agree that the first plate of wings was served in 1964 at a family-owned establishment in Buffalo called the Anchor Bar. The wings were the brainchild of Teressa Bellissimo, who covered them in her own special sauce and served them with a side of blue cheese and celery because that’s what she had available. These days, we take our super bowl food, including chicken wings, very seriously, planning and picking out our best Super Bowl recipes far in advance of the game. We have assembled a selection of our best chicken wing recipes to help you feed the crowd on game day. You can choose the fried chicken wing recipe, using the classic “dip and dredge” method to prepare the poultry, and, for the purists, we offer the traditional spicy buffalo wings with a cool ranch sauce. There is more than one way to prepare a chicken wing, and you are sure to find a new favorite in this all-star lineup for your super bowl party spread.
