Game Day for the Gourmet: Craft & Carnivores Big Game Party

posted by Stacie on January 29, 2015 // Comments Off

As you know we have a series called Game Day for the Gourmet. The premise behind this is that if foodie's got together and hosted a Superbowl party, this is how it would be. In fact, when we host our own big game party, these are the kinds of things that we serve.

This year, we are working with Tyson® and sharing some of our favorite big game party ideas with you. Our theme is Craft & Carnivores which means our menu is all about meat and seriously good beer. Our menu includes Tyson® Fully Cooked Kung Pao Wings, Kobe Beef Sliders and Mexican Beef Taquitos along with some of our favorite, local craft beers.

How to Have a Great Big Game Party

To have a successful party, there are a few steps to take.

Invites

First, invite your guests. We opted for an electronic invitation and went with a football theme:

Choose a Great Menu

Next, pick your menu. We chose Tyson® Fully Cooked Kung Pao Wings.

NOTE: We were fully planning to make a dipping sauce to go with these wings. However, once we baked and tried, they needed nothing else to be absolutely delicious.

The wings were meaty and well sauced. They tasted better than restaurant wings and just as good the ones my husband slaves over at home (don't tell him that). The Kung Pao flavor gave a nice taste of spice without being too overbearing. No one went running for water or said that they had to cool down. The plate was cleaned by all five of us within minutes, and I was left with a pile of bones. If you like wings and are planning to serve them at your next party, then do yourself a favor by heading to Sam's to grab a bag or two from Tyson®.

Look at how delicious they look:

We also will serve Kobe Beef Sliders:

and Mexican Beef Taquitos:
