Related note: How about buffalo chicken dip?

I have officially outlawed it in my house. I can’t have it around me because I basically put on ear straps and starting inhaling it until I’m sick.

Love/hate relationship. I will eat it all if it is in front of me, but hate myself for it not too long after.

And that’s fine. Accepting good enough for whatever reason you want is ok with me. I gave you key to best. In America 2022 I don’t expect more than settling for less. No one has to take the advice. I just am trying to make wings great again. I said my piece. And will stand by it in a blind taste over any alternative method. It’s what all you people buying “ the best wings” at top 10 wing restaraunts do. They do exactly what I said. The only difference between me and them is you eat mine fresh and theirs after sitting. Go figure.

Part of it is not having a fryer. Don’t even know where I’d put yet another outdoor cooking device. If I had one, I’d use your method. Will say I’ve had some very good smoked wings though. It’s just a different thing really.

Bingo. Except my self-hate lasts quite a while. Sometimes all night and into the morning.

Same. That stuff, well made jalapeño poppers and the Davios Philly cheesesteak egg rolls all induce irrational consumption.

This is what Darth Vader meant when he said to feel the hate flowing through you.

I make this garbage dip with a roll of cooked jimmy dean sausage, a can of Rotel and block of cream cheese and put it in a mini crock pot. Kate banned it because I eat it by the pound.

Bet you use the scoop chips for that too. Those are the best invention ever. I can clean a casserole dish with like five of them.

This is my point. You if anyone should get it. There is actually a way to cook things right, which is what launched these to the appetizer stratosphere in our lifetime in the 80s . You couldn’t give away chicken wings in 70’s. Wings were WAY cheaper than thighs and legs. Now wings cost 3x to 4x as legs and thighs yet people cooking them butcher them!

Brisket and flank steak were garbage meats too.

I get what you're saying, and as I said, I do admire craft/artisanship/detail in cooking, but I continue to feel that when it comes to wings, there's simply not much "there" there.

Too bad you were born after ortolan became illegal. Would've loved to see you do that ;)

Not much to get. Buffalo wings and roast beef sandwiches both taste good, that's why people like them.

I guess ADub's devotion to Arby's has a second.

That’s exactly what I use. Before the total banning I used frito scoops. Then those got banned because of salt content… lol, and then she was buying salt free organic tortilla scoops , and then realized that it didn’t matter and I would eat it with a spoon.


It was a good run while it lasted.
 
Where does pizza rank on the go to Super Bowl food? Football and pizza seem to be tailormade. I guess any sport and pizza work.

Frito scoops are a pro move because of the structural integrity. Big lifters.

Not on the menu for us today, or really ever for Super Bowl. We eat it so frequently otherwise. I had it both Thursday (Sally’s) and Friday (Grand Apizza), and last Friday before that (Zupp’s).

Picking the right spots for sure.

Same here we make pizza pretty much every Friday/Saturday throughout the year.

Best scoop chip. Dipsy doodles too but harder to find now. In the 80’s breakstones made a “ Chesapeake clam dip” that I used to crush with dipsy doodles as my every day munchy deal. Sadly that dip doesn’t exist anymore , dipsy doodles still do on a less available level but every time I see them it just makes me Jones the clam dip.

O’Grady’s Au Gratin chips used to be my go-to chips in college and for years thereafter because they were so thick you could hold a ton of dip. They sadly disappeared decades ago though.
 
At my sister-in-law’s Super Bowl party….skyline chili gets the thumbs down. Maybe she made a good version of it, but it’s neither chili or spaghetti with meat sauce.

Omg!

I forgot about seeing that everyone is trying to make skyline chili this year in honor of bengals.

The best version is horrible!

You can surround it with a pastitsio to make it palatable.
 
LOL at the wings on the grill contingent. There is no way the skin is crisping up like it is in bubblin’ oil. Rookies.
 
So for obvious reasons we are varying from our usual tradition of preparing food associated with the cities from which the SB teams come, and we are sticking with the old standards of wings and four-layer dip.

What are people drinking? I’ve got an assortment of fresh hard ciders from Spoke & Spy in Middletown.

Oh and some NoRa’s cupcakes for dessert/early Valentine’s.
