In this month’s edition of Enchanted Eats, we present some Super Bowl favorites! The Super Bowl may technically be an NFL game, but we all know what we’re really looking forward to when Sunday rolls around—the snacks. Maybe you love the San Francisco 49ers, the Baltimore Ravens, or maybe even the Denver Broncos, but have any of these teams ever loved you back? Here you’ll find classic Super Bowl snack recipes, so regardless of what happens on the field, at least you’ll have a winning menu.
Grilled Buffalo Wings

Ingredients:
1-2 lbs chicken wings, patted dry**
1/2 c of your favorite Buffalo-style hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
3 T unsalted butter
Carrot sticks
Celery sticks
Homemade Ranch dressing (see recipe below)
Instructions:
Begin by seasoning the wings with salt and pepper.
Grill the wings over moderate heat, turning frequently, until golden. You don’t want the wings to char at all, so keep a close eye on the flame.
While chicken cooks, bring hot sauce and butter to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat, whisking occasionally until sauce is slightly thickened and coats the back of a spoon, about 1 minute. Cover and set aside.
Place chicken wings and sauce in a large bowl; toss until wings are evenly coated.
Place wings back on the grill for a couple of minutes.
Serve immediately and enjoy with Blue Cheese or Ranch Dressing, and your favorite crunchy vegetables.
**If you buy the wings whole, the wings will consist of three parts: the drum, the flat/double-boned “wing” part, and the tip. To cut up a whole wing, start by cutting off the tip (which you can either discard or save for stock), then cut between the drum and the wing part. Try to cut the sections apart at the joints, where the cartilage is softer than solid bone.
