It’s football seasonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!! I’m not excited. Can’t you tell? My Saints lost last night. I broke a glass. I felt better. The end. It’s okay. This is only the beginning. Prayer changes things. Lettuce pray! 
Teams play horribly from time to time. That’s life. So, you’re gonna need a table of great food to ease your nerves. Start with the wings! I love a boneless wing! Even though it’s not actually a boneless wing at all. Just a plus sized nugget. They’re magical. And easy to make. Watch me put all of your favorite wing spots to shame…
Instead of just dropping these guys in the buffalo/hot sauce as is, doctor it up a bit. It adds a little something, something, thickens the sauce, and kicks the flavor up a notch, or 20. If you would like to see more game day food recipes, let me know in the comments!
