Superbowl Food

The big game is coming up this weekend and most of you are probably hosting or attending some sort of Superbowl party, even if it is just with your family.  Superbowl food is delicious but can be a killer on your plans of healthy eating.  But lucky for you, you can still eat amazing fun food that won't set you way back.  Wings are a favorite for many people but so many times what they are coated in isn't the best.  Try out these different flavor and spice combinations.  Mix the seasonings and then toss them with your wings in a bowl, spread them out on a greased baking sheet and bake away.  Or plan ahead and throw them into your slow cooker. You will love them!  Just remember that a couple wings are fine to eat, just don't go crazy and eat the entire pan!

Carribean Chicken Wings
Teriyaki Sauce + Pineapple + Garlic

Korean BBQ Wings
Chili Flakes  + Garlic + Soy Sauce
Garnish with sesame seeds after they are done cooking, it will perfectly complement the soy sauce.

Sweet Sraracha Wings
Sriracha + Honey + Lime
A little bit of heat and a little bit of sweet.  Garnish them with sesame seeds, fresh lime juice and cilantro.  They would also be yummy dipped in a creamy reduced-fat ranch to cool things down a bit.

Cajun Dry Rub Wings
Cayenne + Paprika + Greek Yogurt

For a healthy dip mix low-fat plain Greek Yogurt with a dry ranch packet and some more creole seasoning.
 

Curried Indian Wings
Curry + Greek Yogurt + Mint
Garnish with curry powder and Sriracha.  Serve with a Greek yogurt dip, a side of carrots and garnish of mint.
