    Chicken Wings – Best Gameday Food:

    Chicken wings and buffalo wings are probably the best appetizers for watching sports.  Especially for pigskin viewing (be it college football bowl game party or a pro football playoff action), there is nothing better than gobbling up a plate of them and then going back and reloading for rounds 2, 3 and more.  If you’re cooking food for a viewing party of the big game or even plan to just watch it by yourself there should be wings present, and they should be amazing.  I’ve got you covered on that, please check out my recipe below!

    Sweet Spicy Chicken Wings:

    Here’s a simple Chicken Wings Recipe with just 5 ingredients!  The taste is different than what most have tried before…a little sweetness and a little kick, a match made in heaven.  Prep time is easy too, if you run out of wings you could just prepare another batch over the course of a couple of timeouts.

     sweet spicy chicken wings recipe Gameday foods are all about tasty and easy.  One thing I like about these wings is that the sauce I prepare is a marinade rather than a dipping sauce.  They really work well both ways, but as a marinade they are less messy than wings accompanied by a dipping sauce.  I personally like how the flavors cook into the chicken more, too. This same exact marinade does however double as an outstanding dipping sauce.  Pace® Salsas and Picante Sauces have worked well for me in so many different recipes and capacities, and this example shows how well it can crossover.  They bring home the flavors of the SouthWest and shine as a standalone sauce or as an ingredient. Hope you'll enjoy this Sweet Spicy Chicken Wings with Pace® Picante Medium 24 ounce !

      I love how "game days" and the Superbowl bring your entire country together to eat chicken wings and drink beer! That's how sport should be enjoyed.

      Here in the UK, football is a divisive subject. The police often have to keep the peace and God help you if you're caught supporting the wrong team! I wish we did it your way.

      Love the idea of taco seasoning on wings. I've never been a real wings kind of girl, but this little Mexican twist on hot wings could certainly turn things around for me. Thanks for sharing the creative recipe.

      This will be such a great dish for the Big Game! And if you're anything like our family, those items will already be on the shopping list. Great way to season/sauce the chicken!

      I like wings because its the part of the chicken that can really absorb the flavor. The sweet spicy chicken wings looks really delicious.

      January 22, 2016 at 1:10 am

      These Sweet Spicy Chicken Wings are indeed perfect food for any game day. I will have to make these for my sister who is the one that does the game day parties. The Pace Picante sauce I have never used in a recipe before so these wings should be delicious. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

      I love easy to make, delicious recipes. Chicken wings are definitely included in game day fare. I will have to give a "test run" on this sweet and spicy chicken wings. Thanks for the recipe!

      These look so good! I love wings, but never thought about using salsa to marinate them in - genius.

    21. Jessica Beal Harlow

      January 22, 2016 at 5:49 am

      I love making baked chicken wings. I have never made them with Pace though. Never even though of it. I am going to have to add that to my wing recipe mix next batch I make.

      January 22, 2016 at 11:31 am

      I never would have thought to coat chicken wings in salsa and bake them. How simple, and I bet they are delicious too.

    27. Jeanine

      January 22, 2016 at 11:39 am

      Yum. These look so good. I love wings, especially a good spicy and sweet wing. These look like I'd love them. I will have to give them a try!

      January 22, 2016 at 11:25 pm

      These wings looks delicious. Who would have thought to use a jar of Pace sauce to make such a mouth watering dish.

      Your wings look so yummy! I love game day foods that are considered finger foods. Nothing wrong with it. We love it!
