#SundaySupper: Big Game Day Recipes

Are you ready for the big game next weekend? I am! As an Auburn graduate I am a huge Cam Newton fan. Seriously, love that man (and his smile)! Not only is he an incredible athlete but he is a man making a difference in his community and in the lives of children. Even though he did leave Auburn to go to the NFL after taking us to a National Championship victory, he returned to Auburn in the off season to finish his degree. War Eagle, Cam!

But I digress.

If your team didn’t make it (my main team allegiance is the Chicago Bears) that doesn’t mean you can’t gather with friends and watch history in the making. Besides, there are always commercials and the half-time show if you don’t care about the game itself. And if none of that appeals to you, just show up for some good food! The Sunday Supper crew has a wonderful variety of recipes to create the perfect game watching menu. Thank you to T.R. Crumbley of Gluten Free Crumbley for assembling the team!

Today I’m sharing a recipe for chicken wings. To me, wings are the ultimate football watching food! (Well, that and some sort of dip.) Chicken wings aren’t hard to make at home either. Especially when you can do them in the slow cooker! Whaat? Yes, it’s true! The trick is popping them under the broiler right before serving to get them crispy. These particular wings are cooked in a Thai-inspired peanut sauce. I then garnish them with cilantro, lime wedges, and chopped peanuts. Delicious.

(P.S. Happy Birthday, Mom!)

Slow Cooker Thai Wings

Ingredients:

• 1/2 C creamy peanut butter
• 1/4 C soy sauce
• 1/4 C brown sugar
• 1-2 tbsp chili paste, to taste (I used Gourmet Garden stir-in paste)
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed (I used 1 tsp Gourmet Garden chunky garlic stir-in paste)
• 2-4 lb chicken wings, tips removed and wings split
• cilantro (I used Gourmet Garden lightly dried herbs), for garnish (optional)
• limes, for garnish (optional)
• chopped peanuts, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

1. Lightly grease the bowl of your slow cooker.
2. In a small bowl, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar, chili paste, and garlic. Adjust chili paste to taste. Pour into slow cooker.
3. Add the wings and toss to coat all the wings in the sauce. Cook on LOW 2-4 hours.
4. Place cooked wings on a foil lined rimmed baking sheet. Broil on HIGH for 3-5 minutes, until crispy.
5. Garnish with cilantro, lime, and peanuts if desired.
