Shit you’re making for Super Bowl Sunday?

[Armybrat 40920]

Mrs. Brat is making a batch of cream cheese dip from my mother’s 60 year old recipe. This very rich & dense dip is a huge family favorite, and two sons have requested some of it for the weekend (it is better after mellowing in the fridge for a couple of days).
The chive cream cheese and roka cheese in jars are no longer made, so she has substituted some ingredients.

She will also make the bacon wrapped Lil’ Smokies baked with brown sugar. Then a customized pork & beans side.

I’ll be grilling burgers & slovacek sausage.

I'll be making a new powder room during the Superbowl more than likely...  Forgot it was this weekend.

[Armybrat 40920]

Well, after eating all that on our menu, I’ll be using ours for a couple of days afterwards.

[South Austin 52629]

I'm having artist's block, so I'll probably just get a variety of chicken wings from Central Market.

[4th&Five 41599]

Smoking some ribs and grilling some corn. Probably some sausage for appetizers.

[Jameslaw121 4448]

My wife is having minor surgery Monday morning. We have to be there at 5:30AM. So this will be the first time I haven't done anything for the SB. But tonight we are making a bunch of fajitas  and drinking beer since I can't on Sunday

[Etexhorn13 3053]

Smoking some wings and doing bacon wrapped japs. It may just be me and the wife and maybe a couple friends, but I don’t feel the need to go crazy this year. I am going to try to do a recreation of plucker’s bakers gold though so that should hopefully be better than just regular smoked wings. 

[BabaYaga 15328]

I'll be stepping up my fledgling wing game.

 

[Mo Horn 8855]

Doing wings and queso dip. Is there a oven baked wings recipe anywhere on Surly, or one that's a favorite? I don't have a smoker, and don't want to deep fry them. I've got one I use, but would be like to try something new.

Air fryer is easily the best option, even with a traditional oil fryer or smoker.  Stupid easy and they come out fantastic.

I don't have one of those either. I've thought about getting one, but don't "fry" enough things to justify buying one.

They are great for everything.  Protein options are obvious, but veggies in them are really good and cook fast.

I do Keto 99% of the time, so might need to reconsider.

As do I (or some derivative of it) the vast majority of the time.  Mainly protein and veggies - for which the air fryer is amazing at and cooks fast.  

[Mo Horn 8855]

I don't want to derail this thread, but are the combo of air fryer and instapots good, or better to just get a stand alone fryer? 

[Carl Spackler 3505]

Pork butt in the crockpot for carnitas to be used on nachos and in tacos.  

[HouTex 1894]

Search the internet for Alton Brown’s wing recipe. They are steamed, refrigerated and then baked. They are very good.

[Underdog 28785]

I use the Bobby Deen method for over baked wings, season to taste(salt, pepper, garlic salt) bake @450 for 15 minutes, flip over and cook another 15 minutes(ovens vary so keep an eye on wings).  I like my wings crispy and naked, like my womens.

Dibs on the toe.

Baby backs. 
Smoked chuck roast that gets braised in beef broth, and onions and assorted stuff. 
Pulled beef on Telera rolls with au jus. 

[LW Goatman 1125]

I just picked up a couple of axis doe from the processor. My daughter and I will be eating flame kissed backstrap with appropriate salsa and corn tortillas, axis ground noach, and whatever my wife eats.

I’ll probably order pizza right around halftime and have it show up in about 2 hours, room temperature with the order wrong.  The American way

[mdleast 8314]

We will be doing Kansas City-style
BBQ (ribs and burnt ends + baked mac and cheese) vs Florida beers (all Cigar City Brewing beers) since it’s the Chiefs vs Bucs

[irishtexan 11522]

Got a new TV this week, so that's pretty cool. The one family we hang out with during quarantine is coming over. They're bringing a buffalo dip and pigs in a blanket. I'm smoking a pork shoulder for sammies. I'll reserve a pound of the meat and also make pulled pork nachos. 

[6th Street 6508]

I'm going to rail a bunch of lines then sing Can't Feel My Face loudly at halftime

[4th&Five 41599]

Couldn’t find any uncooked wings this morning so I got jalapeño poppers to go with ribs.

I'm doing sammiches . . . Reubens and cheesesteaks (shaved ribeye I did in my food processor).  Old school.

[jimmyjazz 46225]

Regarding wings, I saw a technique shootout somewhere on the interwebs yesterday, and the 2nd highest rated technique was:

 

-- preheat oven to 400 F

-- dry wings with paper towels

-- season with kosher salt

-- place baking rack in sheet pan

-- put wings skin side up on rack, cook for 1 hour, no turning, no touching

 

That's it.  I tried it yesterday -- very legit.  Not as good as fried, but about as good as I can imagine for baked.

The secret to oven baked wings is baking powder.

If you can dry brine overnight that's best to really get the crispy flaky skin, but if you are doing this day of it's still worth adding.

I'll be doing these but with leg drums not wings. More meat and costs less.

Rice flour works well too. That’s what the Korean fried chicken places generally use.

Keto here as well, the Air fryer is amazing for that diet. Wife "breads" chicken tenderloins in crushed up pork rinds and parmasan cheese, then air frys it.  Best chicken nuggets in the entire world, crispy and juicy.  She's working on perfecting her keto chicken fried steak too.

Anyway, a brisket and 3 racks of baby backs here, apparently I was nominated to feed a couple of couples.

[DougO 5256]

Nothing too special. I did get some HEB queso to have on Sunday. It was open.

[Buzzrock 14948]

[SurlyBDR 22852]

 

Spicy refried beans, beef, chorizo, Frank's Red Hot, green chiles, jalapeños, cheese, red and green enchilada sauce. Prepped it yesterday, then put it in the fridge until game time to be cooked.

[Armybrat 40920]

Little smokies ready for the oven. she added a bit of cayenne to the brown sugar before rolling them.

 

[Armybrat 40920]

Pregame snack - cream cheese dip, guac, & the smokies.

Washed down with some Deep Eddy Vodka & sparkling water.

 

[CycleTex87 2981]

SB Chili. Thanks @jimmyjazz

 

[AustinMT 952]

We skipped a party invite (too many people) and are hanging at home.  Went to Dai Due and picked up some dry-aged wagyu patties and brioche buns, and some brined chicken wings (which are on the smoker now).  Also making some homemade queso.

This right here. That is what I always do and everybody loves them.

[elfenix 34338]

If I have a super power it is getting food done just as halftime starts.

Hot chicken w/ homemade fries, homemade slaw, homemade pickles, and homemade blue cheese dressing.  everything but the bread.

Made wings in the air fryer for the first time.  Actually turned out pretty damned good -- crispy, held up to the sauce well.

Made the HEB pre-packaged brisket queso (saw it, thought I oughta try it).  Meh.  It was okay, but just had too much going on there.  I prefer my queso to be a bit thinner and simpler (maybe toss some chorizo in, and/or a scoop of quac to dress it up).

And....it was 2-1 cheesesteak at Delaware on Sundays, so the boy and I got those as well.  Ate half during the game, the other half is lunch today.
