Whether you're planning to watch the game this weekend or are just tagging along for the grub, we think the spread should appeal to both kinds of guests. Instead of popping open a few bags of chips and calling it a day, consider making a few easy, shareable recipes that will appeal to football fans and foodies alike! To help level up your finger food selection, chef Skyler Bouchard stopped by TODAY to share some game-day eats that are sure to please a crowd.
It wouldn't be a watch party without those classic, comfort food flavors, and Bouchard has two punchy, Buffalo sauce-forward bites. First, a Buffalo chicken quesadilla bake that you can slice up into squares instead of flipping one by one. And second, Buffalo chicken pull-apart sliders that can be assembled all together until it's time to serve. If you want to add an appetizer into the mix, you can't go wrong with her hot honey pizza bagel bites that have an addictive sweet heat and come together in less than 30 minutes. And if you're happy sticking with hearty mains, her one-pot cheeseburger mac is a must-have on your entertaining menu.
Ready for a memorable game (whether your team wins or loses)? We’ve made it even easier for you. Shop all the recipes — plus, a few tools you may need — below.
