Super Bowl Snacks

It's only Wednesday and I'm already daydreaming about Super Bowl snacks.  I've asked G for any requests and he immediately responded, "Wings!"

Most everyone you know loves chicken wings, right?  I admit, I don't do wings, but that doesn't mean that I won't make them for my family.  I've tried a handful of different recipes and so far the current house favorite is:

Emeril's Oven Roasted Chicken Wings

I prefer to serve roasted chicken wings.  It's a healthier (and less messy) option.  The recipe that would make me pull out the deep fryer though is this one:

Spicy Sriracha Chicken Wings

This recipe is from Chef Michael Symon and he does include directions for oven roasting if frying the wings isn't your thing.  Sriracha is a Thai hot sauce and is widely available at grocery stores.  Sriracha is a great condiment to keep on hand if you're a fan of spicy food.  I use it on my eggs, on any Asian dish I make, and even on my burgers.

I have four pounds of wings in the freezer tagged for Super Bowl Sunday.  I might have to split up the batch and try both of these recipes for G.  I'm sure he won't mind.

Next it's time for me to decide what MY choice of snack is for Super Bowl Sunday...
