- Two More Football Winners
- One more pregame
Here is our recipe for the pre game show for the South Carolina game. Now that the game is just over, it seems appropriate to be cooking wings. Remember that following each of the remaining four pre game shows, we will be posting the recipe here rather than on the regular recipe page. And then when the season is over, we will combine all of them into a single blog for you. First-Down Chicken Wings 4 Lbs chicken wings approximately 24 - 30 Marinade 1 Cup apple cider 2 TBSP cider vinegar 2 TBSP olive oil 2 TBSP Worcestershire sauce 2 TBSP chili powder 1½ tsp red pepper flakes, optional 2 tsp Tabasco (or your favorite hot sauce) ½ tsp salt black pepper to taste Combine marinade ingredients together and mix very well in a large bowl. In an extra large Ziploc baggy, place chicken wings and add marinade over top. Be sure to coat all chicken wings and marinate in refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight before grilling, broiling or roasting in a 400 deg oven. Under the broiler they will need about 6 minutes on a side. In a hot oven, arranged in a single layer on a rack over a pan with sides, cook about 15 minutes and turn and cook an additional 10 minutes. Pack in a thermal dish or bag to take along to the game or just carry them into the den for a party at home. See you again next week. - Recipe from the 10/24 Pre Game Show
