Super Bowl Recipes

Super Bowl Sunday is days away. Here are our top recipes for game day.

Fried Chicken Wings

Ingredients

• 3 dozen chicken wings, separated (wing tips and extra skin removed)
• Canola or peanut oil (for frying)

Brine

• 1 tablespoon ground sea salt
• 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper

Batter

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon ground sea salt
• 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon paprika

Directions

1. In a small bowl, mix all dry seasoning together. Add the chicken and cover all pieces with the mix. Cover and chill overnight.
2. Let chicken stand covered at room temperature for 1 hour.
3. In a large bowl, add all the dry ingredients and 1/2 cup of water. Mix together.
4. Add about 10 pieces of chicken to the batter. Mix with your hands and ensure all pieces are well coated. If the mixture is too dry, add more water, but make sure it doesn’t get too watery. You want a thick batter.
5. As the pieces are coated, lay them out on a baking sheet. Repeat the process until all wings are coated.
6. Preheat your oil to 375 degrees. Use a deep-fry thermometer to be sure.
7. Add about 6-8 pieces to the oil, and fry for about 7 minutes.
8. When browned, and cooked, drain the chicken wings on a rack.
9. Serve hot.

Guacamole

Ingredients

• 2 ripe Haas avocados

• 1 serrano pepper, seeded and diced (keep the seeds and veins if you want to make the guacamole spicy)
• 1/2 red onion, diced
• 2 cloves of garlic, finely minced
• 3 Campari tomatoes, diced. Be sure to remove the seeds and the membrane so your guacamole isn’t watery.
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

1. Wash and de-seed avocados. Place into the molcajete and mash to a pulp
2. Add lime juice, cilantro, serrano pepper, onion, garlic and tomatoes. Mix well and season with salt and pepper.
3. Garnish with cilantro leaves
