Devil Dawn’s Honey Jalapeno Wings These delicious, sweet-spicy morsels are the only reason people invite me to tailgates anymore. Serves 10-12 as an appetizer. Ingredients:
30 jalapenos 1 cup sugar 1 cup brown sugar 6 tbl. water 4-5 cups honey 1 cup white wine vinegar 1 cup orange juice 1 tsp. turmeric 2-3 cups mustard 60 chicken wings or drumettes Before the game: Roast (or boil) jalapenos until tender, then blend with all ingredients except chicken in a blender or food processor. (You may have to do this in batches.) Marinate chicken for at least an hour, the longer the better, in most of the sauce, saving some sauce for brushing during grilling. At the game: Grill until done. Even Better, start the day before, marinate several hours, and then bake right in the marinade for 25 minutes. After refrigerating overnight, the next day at the game you can throw them on the grill for a few minutes, brushing with saved marinade, just to get that great, caramelized finish.

Self-proclaimed commish of tailgating shares winning recipes Fun for the whole family! There are extreme tailgaters and then there is Joe Cahn! As the self-proclaimed Commissioner of Tailgating, Cahn may have the best job in America. In 1996, he sold his business, the New Orleans School of Cooking, sold his house, bought a motor home and hit the road to explore what he calls “the new American community” tailgate parties. Cahn says he is the world’s only professional tailgater. He tailgates at football stadiums, NASCAR tracks, and any other event where they party in the
parking lot. Now in his 17th season on the road, he has driven the JoeMobile over 850,000 miles, visited hundreds of cities, seen thousands of fans and has eaten his way through more than 850 tailgate parties. During his Tailgating America Tours he has travelled to all 31 NFL stadiums, over 123 college stadiums, and 9 NASCAR tracks, tailgated with hundreds of thousands of people and served more than 326 pots of Jambalaya! It’s every sports fan’s fantasy!
