Healthy Football Sunday Recipes
What better way to get some meal prep done with food that you make for FOOTBALL SUNDAY! Nothing I enjoy better than being snuggled under a blanket, eating food and watching football!
Here are three things we are making for this weeks game that I plan to make extra to have during the week:
Air Fried Chicken Wings - great to have to pick the chicken off to add to a salad
Everything but the bagel veggies dip - great PROTEIN packed snack during the day
Chili - great to reheat for lunch or dinner
Air Fried Chicken Wings
- Ingredients
o 1-2lb of chicken wings (dependent on how many people)
o Dry mix
o Wet mix if desired (BBQ sauce, teriyaki sauce, etc.)
1. Pat dry chicken wings (remove as much moisture as possible – will also help the chicken have crispy skin)
2. Toss and coat chicken wings with DRY mixture (you can use a simple mixture like – salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder with a little bit of baking powder)
3. Place chicken wings in basket and evenly space out
4. Drizzle olive oil over chicken wings
5. 390 degrees for 12-15 mins per side
6. BONUS – if you want to have the flavor be BBQ, garlic Parmesan, etc. – mix wings after they are cooked in a mixing bowl!
