Marinated Peppers With Mint and Sesame on blue cutting board

It's game day! Whether or not you're a football fan, the appetizers served at Super Bowl celebrations are a reason in and of itself to celebrate. From staples like Pigs in a Blanket, chicken wings, and nachos to more innovative bites like Marinated Peppers with Mint and Sesame, pictured here, these Super Bowl appetizer recipes are sure to draw cheers.

It's not the Super Bowl without chicken wings and we have three flavorful recipes—first, enjoy a twist on the all-time classic. Our Sriracha-Buffalo Chicken Wings are made with a combination of sriracha (a spicy chili sauce) and melted butter, which is used to glaze our Baked Chicken Wings for a fiery taste. Or, for a bite that's sharp, spicy, and sweet all-in-one, try our Caramelized Mustard-Marmalade Wings. For savory, Asian-inspired flavor, take a bite out of some Korean Fried Chicken Wings that are sure to delight. Whether you make all three or choose your favorite, we're sure they'll win the Lombardi trophy.

While buying some Super Bowl appetizers from the grocery store may offer convenience, we have quick, easy, and delicious recipes that you can make at home. Take our Mozzarella Sticks, for example—all you need to do is slice fresh mozzarella into logs, bread it, and deep-fry until golden brown and crispy. Another MVP is our Classic Guacamole—be sure to use very ripe avocados, which will make mashing a breeze. Or wow with homemade, all-American Red, White, and Blue Potato Chips. Prepare these easy Super Bowl appetizer recipes in the morning, and by kickoff, it'll be time to dig in.

It's not a Super Bowl party—socially distanced outdoors or an intimate gathering with your quarantine crew—without pigs in a blanket. This staple appetizer is so much tastier when you make it from scratch—simply wrap fully-cooked sausage in puff pastry, bake until golden brown, and watch as they disappear one by one.
