If you’re not going to spend time in the kitchen crafting up Super Bowl favs, or simply aren’t going to have the ‘heartiest’ of appetizers, just don’t forget to order pizza during half time!
Authentic Anchor Bar Buffalo Chicken Wings Recipe
This is the original spicy Buffalo chicken wings recipe from the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY. You can adjust the heat by adding more or less cayenne and Tabasco.
There are many Buffalo chicken wing recipes out there, but if you want to taste the “real” thing give this a try. The chicken wings are deep-fried in the original recipe, but the hot oven works fine for the home version.
Makes 6 Servings of Buffalo Chicken Wings (6 per person)
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
- 36 chicken wing pieces (one wing makes 2 pieces - the “flat” and the “drum”)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons Louisiana hot sauce (Frank’s is the brand used in Buffalo)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter or margarine
- celery sticks
- blue cheese dressing
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- If necessary, cut whole wings into two pieces. In a bowl toss the wings with the oil, and salt. Place into a large plastic shopping bag, and add the flour. Shake to coat evenly. Remove wings from the bag, shaking off excess flour, and spread out evenly on oiled foil-lined baking pan(s). Do not crowd. Bake for about 20 minutes, turn the wings over, and cook another 20 minutes, or until the wings are cooked through and browned.
- While the wings are baking, mix all the ingredients for the sauce in a pan, and over low heat bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and then turn off.
- After the wings are cooked, transfer to a large mixing bowl. Pour the sauce over the hot wings and toss with a spoon or spatula to completely coat.
These are always served with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing on the side.

A spin on the standard Potato Skin appetizers. Broccoli, Guac Sauce, and Bacon toppers.
Here’s a slightly more upscale party snack that’s still down-to-earth enough for a football game.
Spicy Meat-Filled Phyllo Cigars
A different kind of nacho.
I feel like this is a fancy way of doing nachos or Frito Pie….so of course, I’m now craving both.
I worked at a Seventh Day Adventist Hospital back in the day, and the staff would be super excited when it was haystack day in the cafeteria.
It was sort of like Pizza day when you were in Elementary School
I think I’ve mentioned it before on this blog, but I was raised in the Adventist church and in the Adventist church, they do things their own special (sometimes “special”) way.
One of those Adventist quirks that all North American Adventists are aware of is the haystacks phenomenon. Haystacks are some weird vegetarian re-imagining of taco salad (a lot of Adventists are vegetarian), but they are addicting and wonderful and Brandon and I eat them several times a month.
The best things about haystacks:
- They are fast. Like less than 10 minutes fast.
- They are easy to make.
- Filling.
- …And cheap.
Here’s how Brandon and I make our haystacks. Adventists vary as to haystack toppings (there is a major Fritos vs. tortilla chip; chili vs. kidney beans, etc. war going on), but here’s what we like. Note that these toppings are a combined effort of the toppings we grew familiar with as children. Brandon’s family did haystacks one way, mine did them another and we have merged our tastes into one glorious heap of food.
Ingredients
- Dark red kidney beans
- Fritos (no scoops, the originals)
- Lettuce (if desired)
- Shredded cheese (either cheddar or pepper jack, your choice!)
- Fresh salsa or pico de gallo
- Avocado, either sliced or made into guacamole
- Sour cream
How To Make
- Heat the beans over the stove. Add some chili pepper to the beans if you like more heat.
- Place chips on a plate.
- Sprinkle cheese on the chips.
- Put beans on the cheese (to melt the cheese, duh).
- Layer everything else to your heart’s content.
- Eat fast so you can get seconds.
It’s not the healthiest meal in the world, but oh man, is it delicious. Total comfort food.
Megan, Tanya, Jera, Ellie, Celesti—I know you all eat (or have eaten) haystacks! How do you make them at your house?
