RECIPES AROUND THE RINGS:

For GAME DAY!

CILANTRO LIME CHICKEN WINGS

Oh-so-perfectly crispy, charred + smoky with the easiest marinade. Cilantro, lime, cumin, chili powder. So simple yet so good!

This is my favorite part about game day.

It’s not the actual games. I don’t even know how football works. I can also never find the ball. There’s just a lot of tackling and stopping? And then people running? I don’t know.

Anyway. The best part about game day is the actual game day food!

Dips, queso, hot dogs, sliders, finger foods…all of it. And now to add to this arsenal is (drum roll, please…):

CILANTRO LIME CHICKEN WINGS!

This is a riff on my favorite recipe here, something I make legit weekly. Except I kind of like it even more in wing-form. They just get so perfectly crispy and smoky on the grill, and they cook up SO FAST!

Just be sure to serve with plenty of cold beers and extra lime wedges for the best wing experience ever.
