To say that Cleveland goes a little nuts over sports might be the understatement of the century. With the football team snagging a certain "Johnny" and the return of a hometown hero/heartbreaker "King" and the addition of "Love"...well, the city is just buzzing with what the new seasons hold for us.  It is a fact that Cleveland LOVES it's sports teams and are some of the most loyal and tailgate-loving fans you will ever find!!   What do Clevelanders like to eat when they tailgate?  Well, it's pretty much anything goes, but hot wings are on the top of most fans lists! With the football pre-season games well under way, college football just around the corner, and basketball season coming up soon...there is going to be plenty of tailgating and home-gating parties to host and to attend in the upcoming months!

That's why I am so excited to tell you about these deli wings at Walmart!  I love wings, but I don't love preparing them at home.  Just not my thing. (Maybe one day!)  These wings are great for any party I might want to bring them to or serve them at.  They are fully cooked, hot, sauced and ready to go.  I found them at the Deli (near the rotisserie) and they are available in Bone-in Hot Wings or Boneless General Tso's flavors.  I purchased them by the pound, but they are also available in a Pick 3 Bucket or a plated meal.

Of course, you cannot serve wings without a dip to cool things off.  A lighter dip to serve with the wings is a plus too, because let's face it,  hot wings are great, but not so figure friendly.  Insert Cool Cucumber Ranch Dip. Kraft® lite Classic Ranch Dressing, non-fat Greek yogurt, cucumbers, and garlic come together to make a light creamy cool dip perfect for hot wings or even veggie dippers! It could not be easier...dump everything into a bowl, mix, refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow flavors to blend, and serve.

Since I grabbed the wings at the deli counter, I picked up everything else I needed for the dip while I was at Walmart too!

I garnished the plate with a little fresh parsley for a nice presentation!

  1. I love chicken wings - and having a deep fryer is good and bad - good because it holds the temperature and food isn't greasy, but bad because I can deep fry anything at a moments notice! When I entertain I do a kind of "semi-homemade" like the show - short cuts that help me not spend hours in the kitchen and actually enjoy my guests!
