Game On!

Super Sunday... Super Party!



(Scroll down to "The Playlist" and hit play before reading... works better that way!)

And it all comes down to this. Forget the hype, the outrageous behavior, the crazy interviews.... ok wait, that probably happened during the tailgating party.

Anyway, it's the Super Bowl people and it's to time to party, eat like there's no tomorrow and yeah maybe a little cocktail or two.  Forget about who's hosting... Jersey or New York.  Just crank up your favorite "tailgating" music... maybe a little Bruno Mars and some Chili Peppers.  It's time to get down and get serious.

Even if you don't know a touchdown from a first down... you're in for a good time.
We've got some great "walk around" food, awesome music and "Winter Sangria"... Game On!

Ready... Let's get busy!

The Pots are on...




The Plate... 

Buffalo Chicken Sliders


Love me some chicken wings, but not always the easiest thing to eat without a roll of paper towels handy.  These are great cause they're not quite as messy and hey, they're grilled, so that's got to count for something.  Not to mention those awesome Hawaiian rolls.  You got the hot with the sweet with the tangy.  What more could you ask for?


What you need... 

1 lb boneless chicken breast
2 packs of Kings Hawaiian sweet rolls
2 tblsp olive oil
salt and fresh ground pepper
1/2 cup "Frank's" wing sauce
3 tblsp butter
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup of celery, rough chopped
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
2 tblsp white wine vinegar

What you do... 

Chicken

Brush the chicken with olive oil then add salt & pepper.
Heat grill to medium high heat.
Grill the chicken over medium high heat.  
About 3-4 minutes per side, until they are golden brown. 
Combine the hot sauce, butter, paprika and apple cider vinegar to a medium sauce pan.
Place on the pan on the grill and stir melt and mix all together. 
Now dip the cooked chicken into the saucepan to coat. 
Grill for about one minute per side to glaze the chicken with the hot sauce.
Cut chicken into bite size portions and serve on Hawaiian rolls with Blue Cheese sauce. 

Blue Cheese Sauce

Combine the mayonnaise, blue cheese, celery vinegar, salt and pepper in a medium sized bowl. 
Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.





The Playlist...

Game On!
Woohoo... the house is rockin' baby!  This is the big one so you need some of that high energy to keep the crowd moving.  As usual we have a little old, a little new, a little rap and a little blues.  With Bruno and the Chili Peppers playing at the half you gotta set the stage.  You will find a little of everything from Colt to Ozzy... so come on and jump on the "Crazy Train".
