Your Game-Day Cheat Sheet
Got people coming over for the game?
You bet that some will want wings…
And the others some sliders.
Vegetables? Not sure if anyone will want that.
Now you’re staring at the whole thing wondering how to put it all together.
Good news: it doesn’t have to be complicated.
Here’s your cheat sheet.
Serving Wings? Give Them Options
Wings and chicken bites are usually the first thing people reach for, so give them more than one direction to go.
For something smoky, set out your favorite Walden Farms BBQ Sauce.
Original keeps things classic, while Thick & Spicy gives people an option with a little more kick.
Then put Zero Calorie Ranch Dressing beside the chicken with carrots and celery.
And yes, definitely make extra napkins available.
Got Sliders? Go Tangy
Mini sliders already bring plenty of savory flavor to the table.
What they need is something creamy and tangy to cut through all that richness.
That’s where Zero Calorie Thousand Island Dressing comes in.
Drizzle a little over sliders before serving, or put it into a squeeze bottle and let everyone finish their own.
Want another option on the table?
Put one of the BBQ sauces nearby for anyone who would rather take their slider in a smoky direction.
Same tray of sliders.
Two completely different bites.
That’s a lot easier than cooking another appetizer.
Give the Veggie Tray Some Attention
Let’s be real.
The veggie tray has some serious competition when wings and sliders are sitting right beside it.
So don’t leave those carrots, celery sticks, peppers, and cucumbers on their own.
Set out Zero Calorie Ranch Dressing for that familiar creamy dip everyone already knows.
Then add Zero Calorie Sweet Onion Dressing as the second option.
Its sweet-savory flavor also works well with wraps or chicken skewers if those happen to be part of your spread.
Don’t Sleep on Roasted Cauliflower
Here’s one worth adding if you want something warm besides wings and sliders.
Roast cauliflower until the edges get browned and crisp.
Then serve it with BBQ sauce.
You get those roasted, caramelized edges with the smoky or spicy flavor of whichever BBQ variety you choose.
It’s also ridiculously easy to put together.
Roast it.
Put it on the board.
Add the sauce.
Done.
Now Put the Whole Spread Together
This is where hosting starts getting easier.
Instead of thinking about your watch-party menu as a collection of separate recipes, think of it as one big board with different ways to dip and drizzle.
Put wings or chicken bites in one section.
Add your sliders.
Fill another area with carrots, celery, cucumber, and peppers.
Pile on some roasted cauliflower.
Then give each sauce or dressing its own clearly labeled bowl or dip cup.
Now everyone gets to move around the spread and build the plate that sounds good to them.
