The 18 Best Chicken Wing Recipes For Your Super Bowl Spread

Just like the halftime show and cheerleaders, wings are considered to be a great component on any game day, but who says they can't be the main event? If you're willing to travel beyond the buffalo, the poultry possibilities are boundless, and prepping a wing buffet is easy to boot. And with the 2025 Super Bowl approaching on Feb. 9, there's no better time than now to test out some of these standout chicken wing recipes.

Simply fry up enough wing parts to feed your crowd, and toss them in a variety of make-ahead sauces to keep palates piqued and appetites sated for the entire evening. Check out our best chicken wing roundup for inspiration, but don't be afraid to get creative and experiment with your own favorite flavors and unexpected ingredients! (There's really no wrong approach here — just the absence of wings.)
