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.
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 !
- 2 Lbs of chicken wings
- 1 1/2 cups Pace® Picante Medium 24 ounce
- 2-3 Tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tablespoon taco seasoning
- Pre heat oven to 350 F
- Rinse chicken wings and pat dry. Remove tip and discard
- Mix all ingredients in a mixing bowl, then marinade in the fridge for 1 hour
- Spread the wings in a rectangular baking pan (spray the bottom with cooking oil)
- Bake the chicken wings, turning occasionally until nicely browned and crisp
You can purchase Pace® Picante Medium 24 ounce at Walmart stores.

Jan 21, 2016 at 3:18 amI 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.

Jan 21, 2016 at 11:53 amLove 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.

Jan 21, 2016 at 8:52 pmI like wings because its the part of the chicken that can really absorb the flavor. The sweet spicy chicken wings looks really delicious.

Jan 22, 2016 at 1:10 amThese 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.
