Super Bowl Eats

Jan 312015

What’s more important on Superbowl Sunday, the food or the commercials? Oh yeah. I guess there’s a game or something too that day? In all reality, the food is the MVP! So whether you’re watching solo or with a crowd, here are some delicious eats for your game day.

4 Rivers Smokehouse — Try their Smoked Chicken Wings, made with chili powder and John Rivers’ own special rub and barbecue sauce, then smoked to perfection in-house. These wings are so packed with flavor; you’ll forget that they’re a healthier alternative to a deep-fried classic. Recipe below if you’re cooking for a crowd!

4 Rivers Smokehouse Smoked Chicken Wings

Ingredients:

¼ cup sugar
½ cup chili powder
½ cup 4R All-Purpose Rub
24 whole chicken wings, cut into drumette and wingette pieces
1 cup BBQ Sauce
½ cup ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping

Instructions:

1. Light a smoker using hickory wood and allow temperature to
settle at 305˚F.
2. Combine sugar, chili powder, and 4R All-Purpose Rub in a large
bowl. Sprinkle over wings to thoroughly coat.
3. Smoke at 305˚F for 45 minutes.
4. Just before serving, light a gas grill and heat to medium
high.
5. Toss wings in BBQ sauce and “flash” on grill to allow sauce to
caramelize, 3 minutes on each side. Flip only once.
6. Serve hot with ranch or blue cheese dipping sauce.
