What's a Super Bowl party with Fried Chicken Wings?

Fried Chicken Wings are mandatory for any kind of game day celebration! These are perfectly seasoned and extra delicious when slathered with hot sauce


 

While I didn't grow up in the South, Fried Chicken seems to have been following me for the past few years. From my private chef life to friends who have a major soft spot for fried chicken, I've made more than my fair share of this delectable meal in my life! And while I normally make it with large pieces of chicken for big friends and family dinners - today it's all about the finger food for game day!

Fried Chicken Wings are mandatory for any kind of game day celebration! These are perfectly seasoned and extra delicious when slathered with hot sauce

So fry up a batch of these, slather them in your favorite hot sauce, and your game day is basically ready to go! If you'd rather bake the wings, check out my bacon cheddar buffalo wing recipe which are baked but the toppings takes them up a notch!!
