For many of us, Super Bowl parties mean one thing: wings. Buffalo wings are the classic, of course, but we’ll happily snack on any iteration that’s spicy, sweet, or stickily sauced. Grilled wings are a favorite, but if it’s too cold where you live to break out the grill, many of these recipes can be made in the broiler or even the slow cooker.

RecipeHoney-Lime Chicken Wings
Tossed in a sauce that’s a little sweet, a little hot, and a lot sticky, these broiled wings are finger-licking good and a bit healthier than fried. To save time, buy the wings already split. -
RecipeSlow-Cooker Asian Barbecue Wings
Even if it’s not a game day, you’ve still got game in the kitchen when you make this finger-licking, umami-laden take on chicken wings. The recipe calls for slow cooking the wings until the meat is almost falling-off-the-bone tender, then broiling to make them brown, crisp, and irresistible. It’s one extra step that’s well worth it. -
RecipeMaple-Wasabi Chicken Wings
Crushed wasabi peas are a fun, colorful garnish for these sticky-spicy-sweet wings. Look for them in your grocery store’s Asian section. -
RecipeGrilled Buffalo Wings
Traditional Buffalo wings are fried, then slathered in a combination of melted butter and Frank’s Red Hot sauce. These wings are grilled rather than fried, which adds a layer of smokiness (and makes them a little lighter). -
RecipeSpicy Cilantro Chicken Wings
These wings are a perfect example of why it’s fun to think outside the bottle of Frank’s hot sauce. The chile, lime, garlic, cilantro, and Worcestershire provide a savory-acidic base for the sauce and add many new and wonderful layers of flavor, while the butter coats the wings with a luscious richness. -
RecipeDouble-Fried Chicken Wings with Miso-Mustard Old Bay Sauce
Chef Robert Wiedmaier’s exotic mix of flavors along with his double-frying technique combine to make these wings a true standout. -
RecipeGrilled Sesame Chicken Wings
These wings are grilled but can be oven-roasted instead. During cooking, they're basted with a mixture of hoisin, soy, and Tabasco sauce and sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds. -
RecipeJalapeño-Lime Chicken Wings
The scent of this dish grilling will bring family and friends running, says chef Eduardo Garcia. “The combination of flavors reminds me of grilled chicken at my ‘abuela’s’ house in the Yucatan region of Mexico.” -
RecipeSoutheast Asian Chicken Wings
A total departure from Buffalo, these grilled wings are marinated in a mix of coconut milk, fish sauce, lemongrass, and sweet chili sauce. The look may be unusual, but using a skewer to stretch out your chicken wings increases the amount of exposed skin that can crisp up during cooking, as well as absorb the marinade and smoky flavors from the grill. -
RecipeCurried Chicken Wings with Peach Dipping Sauce
Bring a taste of summer to your Superbowl spread. Peach preserves, yogurt and hot sauce make a great dip for turmeric and jalapeno pepper infused wings. -
RecipeTandoori Chicken Wings with Mango-Chile Raita
