Super Bowl Party Prep 101: Awesome Chicken Wings

By RENEE SCHIAVONE (Patch Staff)

CHELMSFORD, MA - Ah, the Super Bowl. A time to gather with 50 of your closest friends and watch the Big Game on a giant TV while chowing down on thousands of calories of snack food in just a couple hours’ time.

Though the game is still still a few weeks away, Feb. 7 will be here in no time, and it’s time to get started planning.

But what to bring to the party to contribute to this long-standing tradition? Well, for every Super Bowl party, there must be some chicken wings.

If your looking for that perfect hot wing recipe— look no further, we’ve got you covered. This easy recipe will have people asking for more.

The best part? It’ll probably be one of the healthiest options at the party.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED (multiply this for larger groups):

• 1 package of raw chicken wings. We used the Foster Farms small package for this purpose, and there were 16 wings inside.

• Frank’s Red Hot sauce, wings style (photo of bottle attached above).

HOW TO COOK:

• Preheat the barbecue on high heat. It’s helpful for the grill to be nice and hot when you put the wings on, so that the sauce sticks and sears in some parts.

• While the grill is heating, toss the wings in a large bowl with about 6 ounces of Frank’s Red Hot, so they are fully coated.

• Once the barbecue and wings are ready, spread the wings out on the main rack.

• Have another 6 ounces of Frank’s Red Hot handy in a bowl, along with a small barbecue brush.

• While they are cooking, rotate the wings and brush them with the extra sauce. The more sauce you brush on, the spicier they’ll be. Be sure to wait a few minutes between applications to allow the sauce to stick.

• The wings should be fully cooked within 20-40 minutes, depending on your grill. Be sure to cut into one to make sure there’s no pink before you serve.

Enjoy!
