Get baking and whip up the best damn batch of buffalo wings before tip-off.
Ingredients:
Recipe:
Heat Hemp oil fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In a saucepan mix up butter, hot sauce, pepper and garlic powder over a low flame. Once mixture is blended remove from burner.
In a small bowl mix Hemp flour, paprika, cayenne pepper and salt. Place chicken wings on plate and coat with mixture. Cover and refrigerate for an hour.
Fry wings in hot Hemp oil for 10 to 15 minutes until browned. Remove from heat, place wings in bowl, add a splash of hot sauce and toss together. Serve with bleu cheese.
Super Bowl kicks off In less than 2 hours. Sos once again I’ll be gorging myself into a food coma. To me, chicken wings definitely fits this caloric occasion. Of course, that's ONLY if you have the right bleu cheese. Use a watered down bleu-ish dressing, and you'll totally F the taste of even the best of Buffalo. Here are my 3 winning picks.
#3 – Kraft Roka Bleu Cheese:
This is not their regular dressing brand. It’s a bit more heavy duty on the thickness – compared to Kraft’s regular stuff. The taste is good, and not overpowering. However it still lacks the richness. When you stick a wing in, it should literally be coated like paint. On a personaI note I also feel they could up the cheese chunk factor....by a smidge.
#2 – Wish-Bone Chunky Blue Cheese:
This one is still light on consistency, but totally makes up for it with the sheer amount of big bleu cheese chunks they cram in. Almost borders on too much. Almost. As far as taste goes, Wish-Bone is pretty much the sharpest of the bunch. Produces a slightly acidic after-taste with the honey mustard and BBQ wing flavors.
And #1…
Marie’s Chunky Blue Cheese:
Put dressing in a jar and you got me sold. Marie’s just looks like your getting sauce for dipping, instead of dressing. As far as the coating factor, it totally exceeds all expectations. It’s creamy, rich with just the right Bleu cheese crumble ratio. They also score extra points for having 5 Blue Cheese varieties (Blue Cheese Vinaigrette, Blue Cheese with Bacon, Chunky Blue Cheese, Lite Chunky Blue Cheese and the Premium Super Blue Cheese.) For SB, Marie's is a must in my playbook.

Being from the NY area I am pumped that a home team is actually in the playoff picture. True it is the Jets, so I am prepared to be disappointed in the last 2 minutes with a controversial call (that doesn’t go our way) or a botched play. However I am doing my best to remain positive. Especially after a 37-0 message we sent to the opposing team. Though honestly as a fan it’s a toughie. I kinda feel Cincinnati might have the edge pertaining to bar specials. You make the call.

Football is not just relegated as a guy’s sport. In fact, one of my coworkers usually has a coed indoor tailgating fiesta at his apartment every Sunday. He usually asks me, but honestly it’s not my scene. Never been a big football fan. For 16 or so weeks I’m usually oblivious to what goes on, except when I’m forced to attend a Super Bowl party. However, this week my friend actually needed football advice from moi. He had invited a girl he just started dating (totally another story in itself – OMG), who did NOT like beer. Since he primarily serves beer and wings at his shindig, he was wondering what else could he serve (to impress) her. In my mind, it’s simply what wine you can pair with wings? The question was a toughie. Fish, sizzling fajitas, even pizza I can find a wine. But wings? Took some real thinking. Soul searching. Towards the end of the week it hit me – a Sauvignon Blanc, of course! I chose this for 2 reasons. One, an ice cold, crisp white totally cools off the hot wing spices. Two, it’s crisp and dry, so it doesn’t overpower the wings or blue cheese taste. A Pinot Grigio fruity flavor would do just that. Excited with my perfect deduction I couldn’t wait to tell my friend. Though alas the pairing would never be. Turns out my instincts were right about her. She has a serious boyfriend a mere 3 states away. Two-timing bitch.
Football is back. Which means once again I’ll be gorging myself into a food coma every Sunday. This season however, I promised myself that I wasn't going to wreck all that new found healthy-ness in my body – unless it was truly worth it. To me, Buffalo wings definitely fits this caloric qualification. Of course, that's ONLY if you have the right bleu cheese. Use a watered down bleu-ish dressing, and you'll totally kill the taste of even the best wings. Now if you’re at the bar, you’re at the kitchen’s mercy. If you're tailgating or doing the couch thing, you do have a couple of winning options. Here are my 3 personal picks.

My friends and I were drunk in some sports bar years ago. The name escapes me. Anyway, we decided to order food. Big shocker. The place we were at specialized in wings. So we flexed our beer muscles and (against the waitress's objections) ordered the hottest freakin' wings on the menu – Chernobyl, plus fries. Needless to say about 20 minutes later the fries were gone and the wings – not a bite. They were so hot it irritated our eyes and skin just to touch them. Those wings are pretty much in "Honey BBQ" land compared to Blair’s 16 million Reserve hot sauce.
Just look at the bottle. There’s a warning label that’s not a marketing ploy. It’s Guinness World Record certified hot. Inside this tiny bottle contains 1 mil of pure capsicum crystals. It's like the hottest chili powder in creation! Bottles have gone for as high as $313. And supposedly you can’t use it on food, just experimenting. Comforting thought. The reserve is currently sold out (he only made 999 bottles.) Though fortunately for you hotties, Blair’s got a bunch of other Death Sauces to torch your taste buds.
