Football playoff season is the perfect time to host a football watching party. When it comes to hosting a football party, you want to stick to the classic homegating foods everyone enjoys, but give them a new and interesting twist. You don’t want to go too fancy on your food or make this a sit-down dinner. Football party food has to be easy to eat while sitting on the couch and quick and easy to prepare so you can spend less time in the kitchen and more time watching the game.
This past weekend we got together with a few friends to watch the game. Picking the party food was a no brainer, I knew hamburgers and wings would make everyone happy and I always have Tyson® Boneless Wyngz and Ball Park® Flame Grilled Patties in my freezer.
I wanted to make something different so I whipped up a spicy sweet and savory fruit salsa to add to the hamburgers. This spicy pomegranate and avocado salsa took just minutes to prepare and I served alongside the hamburgers so people could add it to their burger, eat on the side or scoop it up with chips.
