Super Bowl Trivia Question:Which two cities have hosted the most Super Bowls?
The answers are posted at the bottom of this article, but the following chicken wing recipe should give you a hint about one of them.
Cajun-Style Chicken Wings
From the city nicknamed “The Big Easy,” this championship recipe is a tight spiral that hits just below the numbers. It sports an earthy, rich coating and can be complemented with some home-made hot sauce if you are a die-hard spicy chicken wing fan. Either way, jump on the bandwagon, and this menu option is sure to cover the spread. Field three pounds of chicken wings and kick off the preparation.
Gather These Ingredients For The Rub
- 1 tablespoon of baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoon of paprika
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon of cumin
- 1 teaspoon of sea salt
- ½ teaspoon of black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper
Gather These Ingredients For The Super Sauce
- ¼ cup of salted butter
- 1/3 cup of Louisiana-style hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
Blend all of the rub ingredients in a bowl large enough that you can thoroughly mix the ingredients. Now, dry the three pounds of chicken wings lightly with a towel. Put the wings in a large bowl and begin sprinkling and tossing the rub over them. All the wings should have a relatively even coating when they are ready. Spread the wings out on a dry sheet and refrigerate overnight.
Preheat your PGS grill on a low setting and place the wings on the grate. While they are cooking, melt the butter on a side burner in a saucepan. Add in the pair of sauce ingredients and turn off the burner. Once the wings are cooked to your liking, put them in a large bowl and douse them with the Super Sauce. Mix them around in the warm liquid and serve promptly on a platter.
