Super Bowl Strategies: Maryland Cuisine Meets Football Fare

PURPLE FRIDAY!!!
 
This week, I've written about New Orleans-inspired Super Bowl menus and purple and black food and drinks. But really, most people will stick with standard football game fare: chips, salsa, guac, wings, maybe some chili.
 
That's what we did for the AFC championship game. I made chili, using half ground venison and half ground beef, we had lots of chips and dips, and many, many Berger cookies.
 
Plus, Cooper smoked about a thousand wings:
 
The wings, really, were the highlight (other than the big win, of course).
 
They were so easy to make: Just toss wings with olive oil, salt and pepper, smoke in a 200ish degree smoker for about 2 hours, then finish on the grill.
 
I actually tossed some of the wings in olive oil + Old Bay and some in Frank's Red Hot, but after some time in the smoker, they all tasted the same. Smoky.
 
But if you want to add a little extra Maryland love, toss the grilled wings in melted butter mixed with Old Bay. You won't regret it.
