Trivia Question: Which two cities have hosted the most Super Bowls?

The answers are revealed at the end of this article, but the following recipe might provide a clue about one of them.

Cajun-Style Chicken Wings

Hailing from the city known as "The Big Easy," this recipe is a touchdown-worthy dish that’s packed with earthy flavors. Its rich seasoning pairs beautifully with homemade hot sauce for those who crave extra spice. Regardless of your preference, these wings are bound to be a crowd-pleaser. Start by prepping three pounds of chicken wings and let the culinary magic begin.

For the Dry Rub:

• 1 tablespoon of baking powder
• 1 ½ teaspoon of paprika
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon of onion powder
• ½ teaspoon of thyme
• ½ teaspoon of cumin
• 1 teaspoon of sea salt
• ½ teaspoon of black pepper
• ¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper

For the Super Sauce:

• ¼ cup of salted butter
• 1/3 cup of Louisiana-style hot sauce
• 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce

Mix all the rub ingredients in a large bowl to ensure an even coating. Pat the chicken wings dry with a towel, then toss them in the mixture until fully coated. Lay them out on a tray and refrigerate overnight.

Preheat your PGS grill on low heat and place the wings on the grate. While they cook, melt the butter in a saucepan and combine it with the hot sauce and Worcestershire. Once the wings reach your desired crispiness, transfer them to a bowl and pour the Super Sauce over them. Toss gently to coat evenly and serve immediately.

Still stumped about which city has hosted the most Super Bowls? Hint: Their team lost in controversial fashion last season due to a missed call in the red zone.

Trivia Question: Only four teams have never made it to a Super Bowl. Can you guess which ones?

Sweet Fire Texas Chicken Wings

The name of this recipe should give you a hint about one of the teams. Spoiler alert—it’s not the Dallas Cowboys. Despite a bittersweet playoff journey this year, fire up your PGS grill and get ready for a flavorful game day experience.

Ingredients:

• 3 pounds of chicken wings
• 1 stick of salted butter
• 1/3 cup of dark brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons of garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon of chili powder
• ½ teaspoon of onion powder
• 1 teaspoon of sea salt

Preheat your grill to medium heat. Melt the butter and mix in the garlic powder, onion powder, and sea salt. Place the wings in a resealable plastic bag and add the butter mixture, ensuring all wings are well-coated. Combine the brown sugar and chili powder and roll the wings in this mixture until fully coated. Grill the wings until golden brown, flipping them only once if possible to preserve juiciness. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Trivia Question: Who holds the record for the most rushing yards in a single Super Bowl?

Georgia Mop Sauce

Since Atlanta is hosting this year’s championship, it’s fitting to feature a classic Georgian sauce. While peaches might not be ideal for the big game, this sauce is perfect for adding a sweet and tangy twist to your wings.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of ketchup
• 1/2 cup of cider vinegar
• 1/2 cup of brown sugar
• 1/2 cup of strong coffee
• 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons of yellow mustard
• ½ teaspoon of chili powder
• 2 teaspoons of garlic powder
• Add black pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a gentle boil over your PGS grill’s side burner. Remove from heat and let cool before serving. Enjoy your wings with this sauce during the 60 minutes of action-packed football.

Remember, a fantastic Super Bowl Sunday isn’t defined by whether your team makes it to the big game, wins, or loses. What truly counts is the quality of your chicken wings!
