Coke & Mango BBQ Wings and Football Party Printables

It’s, finally, football season! Who else is excited for crunch time? When I think about football, I automatically think of football parties and tailgates. And that, of course, leads to thinking about tailgate food. Growing up in Miami, I followed the college teams, and tailgating was a huge part of our game day routine. My friends and I always put that Latino spin on the typical tailgate menu, which led me to develop my hands-down favorite tailgate food—Mango Coke Chicken Wings.

This season, I’ll be stopping by Sam’s Club to grab my football food supplies. We usually have quite the crowd tailgating with us, so I need to prep my tailgate food in super-sized portions. I have been using Sam’s Club’s pick-up in-store feature a lot lately, which I have found very convenient.  I just placed my order online and will pick it up later. No hassle at all.

I can focus on food prep and some of our family’s favorite game-day snacks.  My all-time favorite is the chicken wing.  But as I mentioned, I make mine a little different from the BBQ or buffalo wings you might normally nosh on game day.

To make my all-time favorite Mango Coke Chicken Wings, you’ll need some Coke, and I recommend picking up a Coca-Cola 28-pack, the ideal tailgating size, at Sam’s Club.  You’ll use a few cans of Coke to make my favorite chicken wings, as it complements the key ingredient in my recipe—mango!

The taste of Coke and mango marinated chicken wings is incredible.  They are also simple to prepare in advance and bring to the game. You can either make them at home and keep them warm until tailgate time or throw your wings on the portable grill. It’s up to you, they’ll taste delicious either way.

Of course, I’ll have to decorate my tailgate to support the team and make it a little more festive.

So, even if you aren’t a Florida team fan, you can incorporate all these tailgate food and Printables ideas to cheer on your favorite college or professional football team.
