Teriyaki Wings

Super Bowl is finally this weekend and you know what that means? GET your eating pants ready! I’m as big of a football fan as the next guy, but let’s be real, the food is what most people come for.

With that in mind, I’m sharing some must-makes for the big game day. To start, wings are always a must. These teriyaki wings are usually my go-to because they are a crowd favorite and always easy to make. They take just 30 minutes from start to finish and the oven does most of the work. One small note about the recipe: you can toss the wings in the teriyaki sauce after they bake, but I like to baste the wings ten minutes before they are done so that the sauce can carmelize on the wings making it really sticky rather than having the sauce just slip all around the wings when it’s  just tossed in teriyaki.

Now that you have the appetizer handled for game day,  click on the following for more ideas: pizza ideas, nacho ideas, and chili ideas.
