💬 Reader prompt: Are you team “extra vinegar burn” or team “extra salty crunch”?

 My family is getting so excited about the football playoffs! This is my favorite time of year to watch the football games, right before the Super bowl.

Every Sunday there is a game on the TV and I don’t think there is a week that everyone agrees on what team they want to win. My hubby Mike played in high school and so did my boys and Cassie always watched football with her dad when she was little, even more than the boys!

You can’t have an afternoon of football without the right food! Am I right? My family loves wings!

We have tried so many different flavors and this is one of our favorites. The mixture of seasonings makes the wings so tender and juicy. Your guests will be drooling over your wings and you will have a hard decision to make……are you going to share?
