Much like the Pats' D, your recipe game needs a little Troy Brown bolstering, so strengthen it with these no-more-than-seven-ingredient recipes guaranteed to get you mad Pats on the back. Enjoy:
Chex Mix-Encrusted Chicken Fingers (with Dr. Pepper BBQ Sauce)
From Rene Caceres, Forum
Make everyone Men In Black-style misremember last year's French Onion disaster by breading chicken tenders in Chex Mix and dipping 'em in a BBQ sauce laden with the good Dr. Pepper, or Dr. Pepper Ten, if you don't want girls eating it.
Your recipe Rolodex is about to get significantly Chex-ier
The Vince Wilfork Kettle Chip Pile-Up
From Suzi Maitland, Parlor Sports
Though it may sound like a delicious accident the Pats' defensive tackle got into on Route 9, this burly crowd-pleaser from Inman's go-to sports HQ intentionally piles up two trays of pulled pork & jalapeno-covered kettle chips atop one another and finishes 'em off with chopped tomatoes and sour cream.
Don't think your old Kettle Chip Pile-Up recipe is even close to as tasty as Big Vince's
The Gronk
From Russ deMariano, The Brahmin American Cuisine & Cocktails
Ensuring your post-game interview is almost as incoherent as his, this spicy 'tail mixes vodka, fiery pepper SoCo, and Tabasco with sweet peach puree in a concoction that, much like its namesake, may be hard for just one person to take down.
