With football season rapidly approaching and tailgate parties gearing up to go into full swing, having an arsenal of recipes on hand to entertain the masses is essential. When it comes to football food, BBQ’d and grilled is always a favorite. But what do you do if you’re hosting your football party in your apartment? If you don’t have a grill handy (or aren’t allowed to have one in your apartment community), it may seem like an impossible task. However, we’ve got the tips and tricks you need to turn out tasty BBQ treats in even the tiniest of kitchens.
BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches
If you’ve got a slow cooker, then you can easily make BBQ’d pulled pork sandwiches. In fact, this recipe is so easy you’ll almost feel bad for all the praise you’re sure to get from your suitably awed guests. Serve with coleslaw and chips for an easy football feast.
- Top Tip: Go with the longer cooking method of 10-12 hours on the low setting. Also, no chicken broth? No problem. Just leave it out but still put the onions and garlic in.
Honey Sriracha Chicken Wings
No deep fat fryer but still want to serve your guests the crispiest, juiciest chicken wings ever? All you need is your oven and a secret ingredient: baking powder. The baking powder causes a chemical reaction that mimics a deep fry, meaning you can make a batch of professional-grade wings with little to no hassle.
- Top Tip: Worried that Sriracha might be a bit too fiery for some of your guests? Do half of your batch with with a different sauce, such as this mild buffalo sauce recipe here. (http://www.food.com/recipe/mild-buffalo-wing-sauce-397659)
BBQ Ribs
Though BBQ purists will roll their eyes at the thought of an oven-baked rib, using your oven to make falling-off-the-bone-style ribs is easy and delicious. Better yet, it can be made the morning of and simply reheated when your guests arrive. Now that’s simple entertaining.
- Top Tip: BBQ sauce makes a big sticky mess that you won’t want to scrub off your pans later. Use a recyclable aluminum sheet pan from your local grocery store for easy clean-up.
If you’re hosting a football party and want to give the authentic tailgate experience, you can’t really go wrong with these three easy favorites. What else do you serve when you’re watching football? Is there a tip or trick we missed? Get social with us and let us know!
