If the whole gang’s coming over for the big game, you’ll need plenty of awesome food to help you keep up your energy as you root your team to victory. If you want to serve something substantial and get your crowd all fired up, there’s nothing better than a big platter of hot and spicy buffalo wings to get everyone up and cheering for the game…and more wings too!
For those who are trying to stick with their resolutions to be fit in the new year, these wings won’t derail those plans because they are baked instead of fried. As soon as they come out of the oven they get bathed in a buttery buffalo sauce that is laced with just a touch of lime juice.
Find chicken wings in the fresh meat case at most grocery stores, including Reasor’s.
