1/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper
WINGS:
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)

1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

2. Make wings: Preheat oven to 450ºF. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil. Place a large cooling rack on top of sheet and mist with cooking spray.

3. In a small pan, combine ketchup, hot sauce, vinegar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, sugar and butter. Cook over low heat, stirring, until well combined and smooth. Pour into a bowl and let cool.

4. Pour 1/4 cup of sauce into a small bowl; cover and set aside. In a large bowl, toss wings with 1/2 cup sauce until coated. Place wings on rack. Roast for 10 minutes, then brush with more sauce. Roast 10 minutes longer; brush with more sauce. Turn wings over, brush with sauce and roast 10 minutes. Brush with more sauce and roast for a final 10 minutes.

Chicken & Waffle Sliders…. Have Mercy!

{Game Day Eats} Chicken & Waffle Sliders

Ingredients

  • frozen mini waffles
  • chicken tenders, cooked
  • {real} maple syrup
  • toothpicks

Instructions

  1. Slice your cooked chicken fingers into 3-4 pieces each. Break your cooked mini waffles apart.
  2. Sandwich 1 piece of chicken between 2 mini waffles. Secure with a toothpick. Drizzle with maple syrup and serve warm.

Notes

Cook up as many waffles and chicken fingers as needed. As a rule of thumb, 1 chicken finger will get you about 3-4 sliders.
