Cook the Book: 'The Great Wings Book'
Mmmmm, wings. Crispy wings, sticky wings, barbecue wings—you'll find them all in Hugh Carpenter and Teri Sandison's epic wing compendium, The Great Wings Book, with recipes that run the gamut from traditional to Asian-inspired to just plain zany (I'm talking to you, PB&J wings.) Zaniness aside, you'll also find a solid introductory chapter with clear, illustrated instructions for prepping, stuffing and lollipopping those tasty wings--whether you plan to braise them in spicy coconut milk or baste them with hoisin sauce on your tailgate grill.
Just in time for the Super Bowl, we're bringing you a whole week of wings. Come back for classics like Buffalo wings and best-ever American wings, and expand your repertoire with pomegranate-glazed BBQ wings and Chinese-style "red-cooked" braised wings. —Michele Humes

Well, wings of course. Chips and salsa/guacamole take a very close second.
blangblang at 2:40PM on 01/19/09
I love hot artichoke dip with sourdough cubes for dipping. It's sort of hackneyed... an "oldy but goody", but I try to mix it up a bit and never make it quite the same way twice... I play with different cheeses, mixing in spinach, crab, bacon or spicy sausage... sometimes pre-roasting the garlic, varying the type and level of heat with jalapenos, hot sauces etc...
hmneilson at 2:41PM on 01/19/09
any kind of "chips & dip" - 7 layer mexican dip, Utz and Sour Cream Ranch Dip, JM's famous Shimp Dip with Tortilla Chips, Hot Crab & Artichoke....endless list!

Chicken wings of course.
9string at 5:17PM on 01/19/09
I would have to say the obvious - true buffalo-style hot wings. Incidentally, these can also be my least favorite, if they aren't right. There is nothing worse than soggy or dry wings. They've got to be crispy and juicy at the same time, and HOT.
I know I'm picky, but I can't get enough of good wings, and bad ones just happen to be a pet peeve of mine. It's just not that hard to cook them right!
Nuwonga at 5:19PM on 01/19/09

Seriously can't do without... wings. So many good wing choices here in the south, plus all the homemade kinds. But wings aside, probably nachos. Pile on the cheese, chili, jalapenos, more cheese, more cheese, more cheese, sour cream, and pico and I'm in heaven.
dbrackst at 6:45PM on 01/19/09
Buffalo wings, please! Don't forget the celery and blue cheese.

mistyriver at 9:45PM on 01/19/09
I've never thought of chicken wings as a "snack" food - but they are by far one of my favourite junk food dinners out there.
Beyond that - oh, let's say cheese sticks. Y'know the kind - the ones invented by the devious man that said, "How can I make cheese worse for a person? Oh I know - dredge it in batter and then deep fry it! Yeah, that'll do it..."

aside from the obvious wings and chips and dip( 7 layer). I would say fajitas... maybe its a Texas thing but in my opinion there is nothing better than fresh steak and chicken fajitas to accompany the fried goodness of hot wings.

kyle25 at 3:13PM on 01/20/09
Wow, my motuh is watering after reading all of that. Can I invite all of you to my house for the big game?
I'm with Johnhutch. I like crispy fried "naked" wings with a sauce made with only Texas Pete and Butter. Franks works as well, but Texas Pete has a better flavor.
My amin favorite, is a fried beef wanton that I make. Just ground beef with onion soup mix added for flavor, wrapped in wanton skins, fried perfectly. Dip in your favorite oriental sauce, or hot mustard, and your good to go. They fly off the table faster than anything else every single time.
Raiders757 at 3:14PM on 01/20/09

uninorth at 1:18PM on 01/21/09
If it is gameday at home, then I have to have my chilli-cheese dip. If I am tailgating, it is always a theme food.
fangirl at 1:21PM on 01/21/09
Despite preferring Top Chef to the Big Game, I like a big tray of hot wings (with extra Srichacha hot sauce ready) and chunky blue cheese dip with a variety of celery, carrot and radish crudites -- and a fresh bowl of Habanero kettle chips. Quaff a cool Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi!

Wings are the things that make my life more angelic. I eat them with blue cheese dip and they make my tongue tingle and my mouth water. I also love to dip the celery and carrots into the sauce and blue cheese dip.

Guacamole without tomatoes, with garlic, jalapeno, cilantro and a squeeze of lemon (yes, not lime, it works). Nacho dip, 7-layer dip, piles of wings, crockpots of meatballs. Basically any kind of dippy, drippy, messy, communal eating food.

Lush Life at 12:55PM on 01/23/09
strangely, it's carrots + some type of creamy dip
they're a great stress reliever to chomp on while your team is marching down the field with seconds to spare
jd7979 at 1:49PM on 01/23/09
I agree with the post before me. Love crudites with a good romesco dip.
Bria at 2:00PM on 01/23/09
Picking one snack is too limiting and so wrong on many levels. When I watch the game I routinely have anything including but not limited to buffalo chicken pizza, deep fried pierogies, crepes and nutella, chicken wings, a meat, cheese, olive, and hot pepper plate, peperoni rolls, and chocolate chip cookies. They are not all eaten during the same game of course.
joeqboo at 2:16PM on 01/23/09

Seriously, I could make a list of everything that I love to eat and everything on that list would be too fattening, to high in cholesterol, to spicy, and so on. It is easy, like the folks who only eat orange food, etc, if I like it and want to eat it, it is absolutely forbidden, food-wise. I am not ill or anything, but, I have been slowly and steadily gaining weight for the past several years and I can see where the path is leading, so I am on the "Lupinea Diet", again, if I like it or if it sounds good to me, you cannot eat it, it is absolutely forbidden. I don't think I will become rich with my new "Lupinea Diet", don't you agree with me? Lupinea@aol.com
lupinea02 at 4:10PM on 01/26/09
One of my favorite things for the superbowl is a taco dip from the Jewel store deli. It is kindof pricey, but the dip is so good and I wouldn't be able to make it for less than that at home. THanks for the giveaway!
