It’s almost here, you guys. Super Bowl Sunday! Whether you’re actually pacing the floor for the Seahawks or the Patriots, or you’re just here for the commercials and the music, we all know what really makes the party.
The food. I’ve been spending quite a bit of time in the kitchen lately, dreaming up a menu that balances those “crave-able” snacks with things that won’t make us feel sluggish by the fourth quarter. If you’re hosting this year, please don’t stress. I’ve put together a lineup of my favorite appetizers that are easy, delicious, and honestly… a little bit addictive.
And can we talk about the entertainment for a second? I am so excited for Bad Bunny to take the stage! After how powerful and intense Kendrick Lamar was last year, I feel like we’re in for a completely different—but equally amazing—vibe. I’m ready for the energy he’s going to bring to Santa Clara.
But back to the snacks… here is your official playbook for a winning spread.
The “Wing” Championship
You can’t have a Super Bowl without wings. It’s like, a law or something. My Crispy Honey Garlic Chicken Wings are always the first to go. They’ve got that sticky, sweet-savory glaze that makes you want to lick your fingers—don’t worry, no judgment here! I love using a dry rub first… it really helps get that crunch we all crave.
If you want a little more heat, the Spicy Oven Baked Wings are literally fire. Call the firetrucks, because these don’t play around. And for my friends who want to keep it a bit lighter (or just want to sneak in some veggies), the Cauliflower Buffalo Bites are so crunchy and tangy that you almost forget you’re eating vegetables. Almost.
Handhelds and Hearty Bites
If you’re looking for something more substantial to keep the crowd fed through the second half, I’m obsessed with these Marry Me Chicken Sliders. I know, the name is a lot, but one bite of that creamy garlic-parmesan sauce and you’ll get it. It’s effortless because you use rotisserie chicken—because let’s be real, we have enough to do on game day.
We’re also throwing some Honey BBQ Meatballs in the crockpot. It’s the ultimate “set it and forget it” move. My girls love these, and I love that I’m not stuck in the kitchen when the game gets good. Just provide some toothpicks and watch them disappear.
The “Salty & Crunchy” Corner
Let’s talk fries. Plain fries are fine, but Homemade Parmesan Truffle Fries? That’s a game-changer. It’s a little bit of luxury in a bowl while you’re sitting on the couch. If you’re feeling extra, the Loaded Nachos with all the fixings—beef, black beans, jalapeños, and way too much guacamole—are the way to go.
I’ve also been experimenting with Air Fryer Chicken Bites. They are so juicy on the inside but have that perfect snap on the outside. They’re great for the kids or for that one friend who refuses to eat wings with a bone in them. We all have that one friend… right?
Whatever you decide to make, remember to take a breath and enjoy the moment. The dishes can wait until Monday morning. Today is about the memories, the cheers, and hopefully, a really good game.
I’d love to hear what’s on your menu this year! Are you more excited for the game or to see Bad Bunny? Drop a comment and let me know!
