Superbowl!

Note that today's recipes will have no weight watchers points associated with them, because I truly doubt we'd want to know the points!

The first thing I'm making is Alton Brown's Wings... which is a baked version but it's supposed to be amazing.

Alton Brown's Buffalo Wings
12 whole chicken wings
1 small clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Place a 6-quart saucepan with a steamer basket and 1-inch of water in the bottom, over high heat, cover and bring to a boil.

Remove the tips of the wings and discard or save for making stock. Using kitchen shears, or a knife, separate the wings at the joint. Place the wings into the steamer basket, cover, reduce the heat to medium and steam for 10 minutes. Remove the wings from the basket and carefully pat dry. Lay the wings out on a cooling rack set in a half sheet pan lined with paper towels and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Replace the paper towels with parchment paper. Roast on the middle rack of the oven for 20 minutes. Turn the wings over and cook another 20 minutes or until meat is cooked through and the skin is golden brown.

While the chicken is roasting, melt the butter in a small bowl along with the garlic. Pour this along with hot sauce and salt into a bowl large enough to hold all of the chicken and stir to combine. Remove the wings from the oven and transfer to the bowl and toss with the sauce. Serve warm.

I'm going to serve this with blue cheese dressing and celery spears.

We're also making a traditional meal we do every year. You cook little hot dogs and sausages over a flame that is held in a cabbage. This isn't going to make much sense until I post a picture! However, it's so fun and my son loves to do it so I highly recommend you try it.

Kidd Family Superbowl Cookout

mini hot dogs
lil' smokies
cocktail breads (rye & pumpernickle)
various mustards
horseradish sauce
1 large cabbage
1 or 2 sterno cans
fondue forks

Hollow out a space in the cabbage to hold the sterno can. Light it, and cook hot dogs and smokies over the flame. Serve on breads with condiments.

Pictures soon to follow!! Are you ready for some football?????
