Hi friends! The big game is right around the corner and if you’re like me – you want to put together a delicious and EASY Game Day Spread! I love hosting parties and making things like game day a special event in our home, but I don’t love spending hours decorating or slaving in the kitchen. Gone are the days of planning and preparing for days (even weeks) for events. Instead, over the years I have discovered tried and true tips and tricks for making your game day spread EASY!

THE FOOD

The most important aspect of your Game Day Spread is food; but important doesn’t mean that you need to spend all your time here. My suggestion? When you’re planning your menu, you can put a homemade touch on it; even make a few things here and there. The bulk of it you should buy and buy from sources you trust. The key Game Day Food Groups (at least in my home) include: wings, potatoes, salty snacks and sweet snacks. If you have all of those, you should have happy guests! So let’s talk about breaking those groups down. First, wings. It can get expensive buying wings from a restaurant and time consuming making them at home. So our Easy Game Day wing solution? Cooked Perfect Premium Fire Grilled Wings!

Cooked Perfect Premium Fire Grilled Wings are grilled over an open fire to lock in natural juices. Found in the freezer aisle, they are fully cooked and ready to heat in the oven. They start with premium chicken with unique flavors your family will love. There is no breading – so there’s more chicken in every bite. And better yet, they are marinated and fully cooked, so they are easy to prepare (just heat and serve). This makes adding quality, delicious chicken wings to your game day spread a breeze! My husband is partial to the Zesty Herbs & Spice Wings. I just put them on a sheet pan and heated them according to the package instructions – they were ready in under 30 minutes! A full platter of ready-to-go, delicious game day wings!

Now that you have the wings food group taken care of, I suggest adding some form of potatoes. These can be fries, wedges, a loaded mashed potato casserole – anything that can serve as a delicious starchy side to those wings. Once you have wings and potatoes taken care of, add in some sweet and salty snacks! Chips, pretzels and nuts make good salty snacks; while caramel corn, cookies and cupcakes are perfect for sweet snacks!

THE DECOR

Now that you have the food taken care of, to wrap up your Easy Game Day Spread, you want a festive game day set-up, right? I suggest setting a chalkboard backdrop and simply drawing on a few X’s and O’s for game day flair. Then serve up food in white trays, galvanized buckets and tins, add in some green accents and a football and call it a day! Perfectly festive and you probably have most of the items in your home already.

So with that – I hope you’re ready for the big game!
