Smothered in sauces and rubs of every flavor.
It wouldn't be football season without a big platter full of chicken wings! But this popular game day food is delicious all year-round, too. Wings are a great tailgating recipe no matter what the sporting event might be, however, they also make a crowd-pleasing dinner idea if you're feeding a crew of hungry teenagers. In fact, wings are probably more versatile than you might think, and easy to make, too. You can cook them on the grill, in a smoker, deep fryer, air fryer, Instant Pot, or even right in your oven which means they don't have to wait until the weekend; you can have wings any night of the week! "Their power can not be overestimated," Ree Drummond says. Whether they're coated in seasoning, heavily sauced, or simply breaded and fried crisp, wings are delicious anyway you spin 'em.

Everyone knows (and loves!) the classic buffalo chicken variety, but in this roundup you'll find even more reasons to love the finger food. Follow in one of Ree Drummond's favorite flavors combos by making bright, zingy lemon-pepper wings, or switch things up with hot honey, barbecue, and garlic-parmesan wings. When making any number of these, though, check the poultry or frozen aisle of your grocery store for "party wings." Most stores will sell the drums and flats pre-cut, but you can also buy whole wings and separate them into three parts yourself. Once you've secured your wings, browse these recipes to find the chicken recipe you'll add to the tailgate menu. They'll be a touchdown, no matter which one you choose!
