Homegating at its Best
I wish every season could be football season! Football weekends revolve around great games and even better food. And since tailgating isn’t exactly easy these days, we take our homegating very seriously. We eat, drink, cheer, repeat. One of our favorite game day snacks are messy, saucy chicken wings. And this Chicken Wings Snack Board is not only deliciously messy, it’s pretty stinkin’ cute, if I do say so myself!

How to Make the Chicken Wings
This board takes about 40 wings in two different flavors. And y’all, if you want to order wings from your favorite wing joint, I’m not here to judge. If you want to bake up your own, I’ve got you covered. So, so easy and so, so yummy!
- First, toss chicken wings in a large bowl with ¼ cup canola oil. Next, sprinkle with kosher salt and toss to coat evenly. Place chicken wings skin side up on the prepared baking racks.
- Then bake for 40-45 minutes in a 400°F oven, rotating pans after 20 minutes from top to bottom and front to back, until golden crisp on the outside.
- After you remove chicken wings from the oven, divide wings into two medium mixing bowls and immediately toss 20 of the wings in the buffalo wing sauce and 20 of the wings in the barbecue sauce.
I’ll Take a Cold One!
You can’t watch football and eat wings without a cold beer to sip on. Whether we’re tailgating or homegating, we’re drinking from our favorite Stanley beer pints and steins. Stanley’s steins keep our drinks cold from coin toss to final whistle. I mean, if it lasts that long! And the amazing thing about the classic Stanley stein is they have a bottle opener built right into the handle. So cool and convenient!
Oh and it’s not just us adults who enjoy a cold one. The kids love drinking their juice or special occasion soda out of a Stanley mug and cup. They’re so great for keeping warm drinks warm too!
Now that you’ve poured your beer, you can build this board in a snap! (Get it? Snap? I’ve got football puns for yards, y’all). Check out this video to see how quickly it comes together.

You’ll score big with my Winning Recipes for Football Season! I’ve rounded up our favorite game day recipes that are sure to win everyone over at your football watch party!
How to Build the Chicken Wings Snack Board
You’ll need a 18” x 12” walnut wood board or tray, two oval food baskets, and three small serving bowls for your dipping sauces.
If you made the wings ahead of time or bought pre-made wings, you’ll need to keep them warm in a 200°F oven until ready to add to the board.
- First, on an 18” x 12” walnut wood board or tray, arrange two oval food baskets lined with lettuce leaves or parchment paper.
- Put the ranch, honey mustard, and blue cheese dressings in small serving bowls on the board. Place the blue cheese crumbles next to the bowl of blue cheese dressing and garnish the dressing with small crumbles of blue cheese.
- Arrange half of the celery in the top left corner of the board and half in the right bottom corner. Arrange half of the carrot sticks in the top left corner of the board and half in the bottom right corner. Fan cucumber slices around the bowl of ranch dressing. Pile sugar snap peas in the top right corner of the board with radish slices next to them.
- Stack cheese cubes in the middle of the board with the mini sweet peppers to the left of them. Place the pickle chips in the bottom left corner of the board. Arrange the pepperoncini slices on the middle right side of the board. Stick pimento-stuffed green olives in various spots across the board.
- Place the wings tossed in buffalo wing sauce in the top oval basket and the wings tossed in barbecue sauce in the bottom basket.
- Put the sour cream or thick blue cheese dressing in a small squeeze bottle (or sealable plastic bag with one corner snipped off). Draw lines on the piles of wings to make the wing baskets look like footballs.
Serve and enjoy!

Hello: I really do enjoy your web site. One of my favourite recipes is Flourless Oatmeal Cookies which I make quite often. Always yummy!! Yesterday I made the Flourless Pumpkin Bread and was soooo disappointed. The first time in my baking life it didn’t turn out. The recipe states to bake it for approx 30 mins, I went well beyond with the minutes and it still was very dense and moist I added 5 mins then 5 more and so on it was at least an extra 30 – 40 mins and still it was to moist.
Just wondering if there was a miscalculating error with the baking time. Perhaps 60 mins instead of 30? Looking forward to hearing from you.
Much appreciated.

Hi Viola! Thanks for your message. It sounds like you might have over blended the batter. If the batter is over blended, it will start to warm and cook the oats which prevents the loaf from baking into a bread-like texture. It will have the texture of oatmeal if the oats start cooking before you bake the bread. I’m assuming your batter just never baked to a bread-like texture and remained moist inside because the oats were over blended. Hope this helps and that you’re able to try the recipe again soon.
