What are you having? The Super Bowl is this Sunday and we’re getting our menu together. We can’t help but think of our family favorite, chicken wings, whenever we get together for the big game! Here’s a look back to a great day.

The game starts at 6:30 in the evening, yet in my excitement, I wake up in the wee hours of the morning. I hurry to the kitchen to start preparing for our game-day festivities. Never mind that it’ll be just the two of us, it’s still a super bowl party, and the main event is the wings! Trying out a new recipe, I start with my dry rub: dried garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper. As I add each ingredient, I imagine the layers of flavor. While I marinated mine for several hours, an hour is sufficient to pack in flavor. It will be a while before the big game starts and my anticipation heightens.
There’s turkey for Thanksgiving,black-eyed peas for New Years, BBQ for the 4th of July, and then…there’s wings for Super Bowl! It was estimated that 1.42 billion wings would be eaten on Super Bowl Sunday. Even though I love and look forward to watching the game between two teams who have played valiantly to become contenders, I’m just as excited about the menu. Shall we have pizza or guacamole or any number of other foods? Perhaps. However, when it comes to wings, the answer is always a resounding YES!
We have no idea who’ll be the teams at the Super Bowl next year, we do know that there will be lots of parties with food galore and more than a generous amount of chicken wings.
Cheers everyone!
