Because you only get like <em>five</em> chances every 12 years to celebrate going to the Super Bowl, make the most of another Pats trip with these idiot-proof plates culled from some of the Hub's top kitchen QBs
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.
