Hot Wings

Football and hot wings are the best combination ever made! Crispy, crunchy, lightly breaded wings bathed in hot sauce. This is one of my favorite appetizers to make during football season. I have been excited about the beginning of football season for a couple of weeks now. I was thinking about all of my favorite “football foods” and hot wings were on the top of my list…I knew I had to make them for the first game. I made these amazing wings last night for the Ohio State vs Marshall game and they were devoured in less than 5 minutes! 🙂 Nothing is better on a football day than a cold beer, hot wings, and buckeyes. The greatest part about hot wings is that they are so versatile you can make them as hot as you dare! Just make sure you have plenty of celery and bleu cheese dipping sauce. So now that you know my favorite football food, what do you like to eat when you watch the big game?
