Today is a really fun day. Tailgating recipes are a favorite of our family, mainly because we LOVE football season. Football season is an excuse to break out the grill in the middle of freezing cold weather. It's an excuse to not have to pack away all the summer coolers and chairs in storage. And it's just an excuse to eat some really, really good food.
Today as part of the Secret Recipe Club, we're highlighting some amazing tailgating recipes you can use at your own party.
I'm featuring Sarah from Oreos and Cool Whip. She has some fantastic tailgating recipes. In addition to this wicked hot wings recipe we're making, these other tailgating recipes caught our eyes:
L-R: Chicken Taco Calzones, Deep Dish Hot Fudge Brownie, Steak Quesadillas
We loved the amazing hot flavor these wings gave. And please excuse me. I asked my daughter to grab wings at the grocery store and came home to drummettes. Still delicious!

Ingredients
- 16-20 chicken wings, drummettes or 8-10 drumsticks
- 1 Tbsp oil
- ½ c plus 1 Tbsp Frank's Red Hot Sauce
- ¾ c flour
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp chipotle powder
- ¼ c butter
Instructions
- In a large resealable plastic bag place the wings, drummettes or drumsticks in a bag with 1 tbsp of hot sauce. Shake to mix.
- In a small bowl stir together the flour, salt and chipotle powder. Evenly coat the wings in the flour mixture. Place wings on a lightly coated baking tray and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for one hour.
- Melt the butter and stir together with the remaining hot sauce. Remove the wings from the refrigerator and dip each wing in the butter/hot sauce mixture. Place the chicken wings back on the baking tray.
- Place wings in a cold oven. Heat oven to 400 degrees and bake for 45-60 minutes.
- Serve wings hot.

Wings are the quintessential tailgate food.
Yummy! What a perfect pick!
Perfect wing (or drummette) recipe - Frank's Red Hot for the win!
Looks tasty! We love wings but would not willingly turn down a spicy drummie. Great choice for reveal day!
We all love wings but I never make them at home! It's on the list for this fall! Great recipe for tailgating!
I make a recipe similar to this. It's a Hooter's knock off. These look delicious and are perfect for tailgating.
Who doesn't love wings for football season? We're looking forward to the real start of the season in our house too. Great SRC post
That sounds so easy and wickedly good! I will definitely be trying these. I just happen to have a bottle of that sauce.
I made this last night to test for the Superbowl party I am having. Came out great! I like the idea there isn't as much butter as a lot of other recipes, and they were perfect! Thanks a lot for posting this recipe.:)
I have actually never made wings (or drummettes). Yours look absolutely perfect for tailgating. Great pick!
Hummmm, that recipe is right up my alley, love the heat and of course, cannot go wrong with drummettes... too tasty!
Yum! The crisp and extra spicy taste are irresistible on those drummettes! - Regine
